Math help please
@Vocaloid
key word is false negative so you'd want to calculate (number of people who tested negatively AND have the disease)/ (total number of people who tested negatively)
@Vocaloid I added 172+4+120=296, then I divided it by 176, and got 1.68?
only 4 people tested negatively AND have the disease
so 4/172=0.023? or 4/176=0.0227
there are a total of 176 people who tested negatively, so 4/176
0.570; The probability of this error is high so the test is not very accurate. 0.0129; The probability of this error is low so the test is fairly accurate. 0.0323; The probability of this error is low so the test is fairly accurate. 0.0421; The probability of this error is low so the test is fairly accurate.
ah, actually hold on
they want the probability of selecting ***any*** random test, so it's 4/(all tests combined)
