It is given that only 0.1 % of a large population have COVID infection. In this population, the reliability of COVID RTPCR-test is specified as follows : For persons having COVID, 90% of the test detects the disease but 10% goes undetected. For persons not having COVID, 99% of the test is judged COVID negative but 1% are diagnosed as COVID positive. Based on the above informations, answer the question : |
The probability of the person tested as COVID positive, given that he is actually having COVID is : |
$\frac{1}{1000}$ $\frac{1}{10}$ $\frac{8}{10}$ $\frac{9}{10}$ |
$\frac{9}{10}$ |
Let A = Person selected has covid B = Person don't have covid C = Person have judge report positive P(covid tested/has covid) = 90% $=\frac{90}{100}=0.9$ $P(C/A) = 0.9 = \frac{9}{10}$ |
