the probabilities :(a) the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes
8% *95% + ( 100% -8% ) *2% = 9.44 %=0.0944
(b) a person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease
8% *95%/0.0944=0.076/0.0944=95/118
(a) the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes
8% x95% + ( 100% -8% ) x2% = 9.04 %
(b) a person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease
8% x95%=7.6%
