Suppose there are two different diagnostic tests (say test A and test B) for some disease of interest. Assume that the prevalence of this disease in a large population is 1%. Test A has a false negative rate of 10% (false negative means that the test result is negative when the test is applied to a person who has the disease). Similarly, the false negative rate of test B is 5%. The false positive rate of test A is 4% (false positive means that the test result is positive even though it is applied to a person who does not have the disease). Similarly, the false positive rate of test B is 6%.
Define the events
A= test A is positive
B = test B is positive
The events A and B are conditionally independent. That means that if the disease status of a person is known (as either D, has disease, or as D, does not have disease), then
P(A â© B| D)= P (A|D) P(B|D)
as well as
P(A â© B|D )= P(A|D) P(B|D)
a. Given that test A is positive when administered to a person chosen at random from the population, what is the probability that test B will also be positive for the same person?
b. If both tests A and B are positive when administered to a person selected at random from the population, what is the probability this person has the disease.
c. Now suppose the tests are applied to a person with unknown disease status Are the events A and B independent in this case? Explain why or why?
