A new test is developed to test for a certain allergy, giving "positive" or "negative" results to indicate that a person does or
does not have the allergy. For a person who has the allergy, the test will give a positive result 82% of the time and a negative result (false negative) 18% of the time. For a person who does not have the allergy, the test will give a positive result (false positive) 10% of the time and a negative result 90% of the time. A study included a population of 10,000 people, and 1% of those studied where known to have the allergy. Fill in the missing values in the table below, and complete the statements that follow. Round the percentage to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
the first blank is 82, the second blank is 8,910. I got that third blank wrong and it should be 7.1 I think. and the last block is should not. to find the third box all you need to do is:
82+990=1,072 then divide 82 by 1,072 and round to the nearest tenth
