Survey: Medical Tests Diagnostic tests of medical conditions can have several types of results. The test result can be positive or negative, whether or not a patient has the condition. A positive test(+) indicates that the patient has thecondition. A negative test(-) indicates that the patient does not have the condition. Remember, a positive test does not prove that the patient has the condition. Additional medical work may be required. Consider a random sample of 200 patients, some of whom have a medical condition and some of whom do not. Results of a new diagnostic test for the condition are shown.

Assume the sample is representative of the entire population. For a person
selected at random, compute the following probabilities:
(a) P(+ | condition present) ; this is known as the sensitivity of a test.
(b) P(- | condition present); this is known as the false-negative rate.
(c) P(- | condition absent); this is known as the specificity of a test.
(d) P(+ | condition absent) ; this is known as the false-positive rate.
(e) P(condition present and +); this is the predictive value of the test.
(f) P(condition present and -).
