2.23 HIV in Swaziland: Swaziland has the highest HIV prevalence in the world: 25.9% of this country's population is infected with HIV. The ELISA test is one of the first and most accurate tests for HIV. For those who carry HIV, the ELISA test is 99.7% accurate. For those who do not carry HIV, the test is 92.6% accurate. If an individual from Swaziland has tested positive, what is the probability that he carries HIV? (please round to 4 decimal places)

Respuesta :

the probability that he carries HIV  = .2582

Solution :  

Probability :

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e. how likely they are to happen, using it.

Probability Definition in Math

Probability can range in from 0 to 1, where 0 means the event to be an impossible one and 1 indicates a certain event. Probability for Class 10 is an important topic for the students which explains all the basic concepts of this topic. The probability of all the events in a sample space adds up to 1.

HIV in Swaziland: Swaziland has the highest HIV prevalence in the world: 25.9% of this country's population is infected with HIV

HIV positive parameter : 25.9 %

HIV negative  parameter: 74.1%

HIV positive accuracies in 25.9% :   99.7 %

HIV-positive accuracies in 25.9% in error :0 .003%

If an individual from Swaziland has tested positive, the probability that he carries HIV

HIV positive accuracies in 25.9% :   99.7 %

= 99.7*25.9 /10000= .2582

the probability that he carries HIV  = .2582
