Data shows that 40% of the population in your town are infected
by Omicron COVID virus. Scientists have developed a test to
identify sick individuals, but they have doubts about the
effectiveness of the test. Current records show that the test is
positive for 83% of those who are infected with the virus, and it
is negative for 94% of those who are not infected by the
virus.
What is the probability that a person tested positive?
What is the probability that a person is not infected with the
virus if he/she tested negative from the test?
