Its a possible answer if sensitivity and specificity are the same but you don't know that from the question.
The test may give no false positives but only false negatives.
So the test would be incredibly strict and if you are tested positive you will always be true positive

>> No.11643041

If I test 10000 people I know that 100 will get a wrong result.
I also know that there will be (ideally) only 10 infected.
There can be between 0 and 10 false negatives (FN) and the number of false positives will be 100-FN.
If there are 0 false negatives there will be only false positives and the chance of infection is 0.
At best it will be ~9%

That's not what accuracy means but OK I'll play along

TPR+FNR = 0.001

TPR = 0.99*0.001 = 0.00099

>and 0% to falsely claim to have detected something it didn't detect
You can't assume that but OK: FP = 0.

If a test is 100% accurate, it is always right.
If a test is 0% accurate, it is a woman.

If a test is 99% accurate it is accurate 99/100 times.
if a test is 1% accurate, it is accurate 1/100 times.

If a disease effects 0.1% of the population then it is one tenth of a percent, or 0.01/10 which is 0.001 decimal.

if you test 100,000 then 100,000*0.001 is 100 people who are affected by the disease.

You don't know which 100 people are positive though, so you test everyone to find your 100 guilty individuals.

However since 1/100 people without the disease will give a false positive, 1/100 of this is 0.01*100,000 which means 1,000 people will be false positive

Additionally, since only 99/100 people with the disease will test real negative, there is 1 person that will test false negative who actually is positive.

So you have 1099 "positive" results, and the rest of the results are negative results. This is completely different then having just 100 positives on a 100% accurate test.

so if you are real positive, then you are in a group of 100 people out of a group of 1099 which is approximately 9% probability that your results are accurate.

If the virus effected like 80% of people that it came into contact with them the test would report more accurate results.

if the test effected 100% of people that came into contact with it,.and were tested then it would be 99% accurate, not 9%

same way if the virus effected 0% of people. The test would not be accurate at all.

The further the infection rate is away from the accuracy of the test, the less accurate the test will be.

If a disease effects 80% of the population then.. .

if you test 100,000 then 100,000*0.8 is 80k people who are affected by the disease.

1/100 people without the disease will give a false positive.. 1/100 of this is 0.01*100,000 which means 1,000 people will be false positive

Additionally, since only 99/100 people with the disease will test real negative, there are 800 people that will test false negative who actually are positive.

So you have 80,000 real positives, but the test gives 1000 false positives and there are 800 false negatives.

so if you are real positive, then you are in a group of 80,000 people out of a group of 80200

80000/80200 is around 99%

if everyone is infected then it's 100,000 positive for real but 1000 false negatives, so you have a 100,000/99900 or 100% chance of having it regardless of what the test says,

specifically because the infection rate matters.

Wrong. Ill reiterate this very specifically so you can see the flaw in your reasoning.

A person can either be healthy, H, or infected, H'
A person can either test positive, +, or negative, +'

The test having a 99% accuracy means that, 99% of the time, it will return the correct result. Mathematically, this is:

Positive given the person is healthy, P(+|H) = .01

Negative given the person is healthy, P(+'|H) = .99

Positive given the person is infected, P(+|H') = .99

Negative given the person is infected, P(+'|H') = .01

You are told that you are tested positive. You want to find the probability that you are infected, GIVEN that you are positive, or P(H'|+)

P(H'|+) does NOT necesarilly equal P(+|H')

To find P(H'|+) you can use bayes formula (the derivation of which is left as an exercise to the reader)

P(H'|+) = [P(+|H') * P(H')] / [P(+)]

With P(+) being the probability that a person is infected, or [P(+|H') * P(H')] + [P(+|H) * P(H)]

[P(+|H') * P(H')] can also be rewritten as P(+ ^ H'), or the probability that a person is positive AND infected.

In English, this all means the following:

"The probability that a person is infected, given that they have tested positive, is equal to the proportion of the population that has tested positive and is infected, over the proportion of the population that has tested positive"

So then the answer is C. 99%

Your definition of accuracy is wrong.
In diagnostic tests it refers to the ability to classify a certain percentage of people correctly.
To know how accurate a single test is we have to know sensitivity and specificity. These describe how likely it is that you are correctly identified as sick or healthy.

Specify “accurate”

PCR tests have a 99.9% specificity (no false positives). Roche’s new antibody test has a 99.8% specificity and a 100% sensitivity.

If you test with the Roche test and test negative you 100% know you are not positive (no false negatives), but only 99.8% certain you are positive for antibodies (0.2% false positives).

This is regardless of how many in the population are infected.

Here's a question. In the real world where diagnostic testing actually takes place do you think everytime a persons sample gets tested in the lab with X assay the doctor immediately goes 'Well I need to know the prevalence of the population with Y disease' and then adjust the likelihood?

>It looks like the flu, he has all the symptoms of flu, this highly accurate test (~99% correct of the time) but the flu prevalence is only 0.1% so the chance he actually has it is only 9%!
>Patient probably doesn't have the flu.

The parameters of a diagnostic assay once determined are exactly that and work independently of prevalence (and I use prevalence in the epidemiological sense of the word).

False positive rate = 1-prevalence- accuracy+true positive rate = 0.009+true positive rate

So the false positive rate must be greater than the true positive rate.

>> No.11646385

A false positive is only a negative if the negativity of the positive is positively greater than the negativity.

You have 100000 people, so 100 are sick and 99900 are healthy. Of the 100 that are ill 99 test positive, 1 test negative and 1 of the healthy ones tests negative. So, you take the amount of people who are sick and testes positive (99) and divide it by the total amount who tesed positive (100), you get 0,99 and that's 99% chance of you testing positive and being sick.

in both cases, the accuracy (number of correct tests over total tests) is 99%. However, in both cases it is also clear that the likelyhood that someone infected will test positive is NOT 99%. In the case with 0 false negatives, the liklihood that someone with the disease will test positive is 100%. In the case with all false negatives, there is 0% chance that someone with the disease will test positive.

It is falsifiable, and it has been proven wrong. But rather than abandoning it at that point in favor of better paradigms, the Marxist here refuses to do so, which makes it pseudoscience. Which is why the fact that no class consciousness occurs has to be alleviated with "false consciousness", and why Marxian economists have to invent dozens of new terms and schemes to explain why the tendency of profit to fall is actually true, rather than just abandoning it altogether which is what almost every economist does.

>>11642478
What percentage of the population is tested? Also by 99% accurate, what do you mean? That out of 100 people, 1 person will test positive when they are not infected, that out of 100 people, 1 person will test negative when they are infected or out of 100 people 1 person will have a wrong diagnosis? If you test 100% of the population, 1% will falsely test positive when they are not infectious, where as only 0.1% of the population is tested positive correctly, so 0.1%/1% = 10%. Now since that is not part of the answer, I'd assume that the 99% applies also to the test showing negative when positive. This gives us a 1% of the 0.1% being tested negative when they should be positive, and 1% of 99.9% being tested positive when they should be negative. This gives us 0.099/0.999 = 9.90% if you tested positive.

P sure most of this thread is trolling but fuck it

Look at the makeup of the set of people who test positive.

There are two ways to test positive.
1. Have corona (p = 0.001) and test accurately (p = 0.99) -> .001*.99= .00099

2. Don’t have corona (p = 0.999) and test inaccurately (p = 0.01). You can already see that both probabilities are larger than in #1. .999*.01 = .00999

So if all you know is you tested positive, it’s a little more than 10 times more likely you’re in group 2 than group 1

.00099 / (.00099 + .00999) = .0901 or a 9% chance

This implies that 0.99 is the chance of a positive test being accurate, but all the question says is that 0.99 is the chance of a test being accurate. So for example, if 0/9 positive tests are accurate and 990/991 negative tests are accurate, then 990/1000 tests in total are accurate. Or if 1/11 positive tests are accurate and 989/989 negative tests are accurate, then 990/1000 tests are accurate. Or anywhere in between as long as 0.99 of the tests are accurate.

It's called "the paradox of the false positive"

Say you have a new disease, called Super-AIDS. Only one in a million people gets Super-AIDS. You develop a test for Super-AIDS that's 99 percent accurate. I mean, 99 percent of the time, it gives the correct result – true if the subject is infected, and false if the subject is healthy. You give the test to a million people.
One in a million people have Super-AIDS. One in a hundred people that you test will generate a "false positive" – the test will say he has Super-AIDS even though he doesn't. That's what "99 percent accurate" means: one percent wrong.

What's one percent of one million?
1,000,000/100 = 10,000

One in a million people has Super-AIDS. If you test a million random people, you'll probably only find one case of real Super-AIDS. But your test won't identify one person as having Super-AIDS. It will identify 10,000 people as having it. Your 99 percent accurate test will perform with 99.99 percent inaccuracy.

If you test 1000 people, and the actual % of people infected is 0.1%, and the test has a 99% accuracy rate, that means a 1% INaccuracy.

Which means it'll say 10 people are infected. While only 1 really should be. So the test is, even though 99% accurate... when testing for very rare things... it performs with 90%+ INaccuracy.

The question states “a test” but does not state it’s the test you took.

Due to that fact the 99% is irrelevant as it’s not guaranteed that’s the test you took.

OP. When you cry yourself to sleep every night, do you use your mommies panties or your daddies panties?

This information is not conducive to establishing the panties OP uses. Please stay on topic in future.

Look, its a terrible situation, but information about the panties OP uses has not been forthcoming. Despite my most valiant efforts. We may have to consider using statistical methods to infer the panties OP is most likely to use. I know its not an ideal situation but at the moment, in the absence of hard evidence, I feel we have no other choice.

Personally I have enjoyed shitting on this thread. I have had it bookmarked. Every now and again I quickly copy paste some shit onto it in between binging on Netflix.
I am not sure why its been such a delightful experience to crap all over OP. Maybe its to do with the stupid question written by some dumb retard who spergs out because people answer it exactly as it is written, rather than what he intended to ask. Maybe its because there has been a few laughs with other posters doing exactly thing as myself. Taking a good shit on a shit thread,

But I hope OP remakes it again ( which would be the fourth time by my count ) so we can enjoy more fun times and add the contents of our collective colons on yet another worthless pile of crap.
