now what if it's 1 in a trillion? 1 in a billion? 0.1%? The question is obviously flawed since we don't know what percentage of the population has been tested. if 100% of the population has been tested, then you know the test will be wrong 1% of the time, or in other words, be positive for 1% of 99.9% of the population which are healthy, when it should be negative, and be negative for 1% of 0.1% of the population which do have the virus. In other words, assuming everyone is tested, you end up with 0.999% of healthy people who test positive, and 99% of infected people who test positive. You add the two and find out that in the general population, you have 0.00099 + 0.00999 = 0.01098 = 1.098% of the population which will end up testing positive. out of 1.098% of the population which tests positive, only 0.099% are truly positive. You therefore have 0.099/1.098 = 0.0901 = 9.01%, or B

Let [math]A[/math] be the event that you are infected by the virus and [math]B[/math] be the event that your test is positive. The question is then asking precisely the value of [math]P(A \mid B)[/math], i.e., the probability of event [math]A[/math] occurring given knowledge that event [math]B[/math] has occurred.

By Bayes' theorem, [eqn]P(A\mid B)=\frac{P(A)}{P(B)}P(B\mid A).[/eqn]
We will compute each quantity of interest on the right side of the equation first.

We know [math]P(A)=0.001[/math] from the beginning.

We also know that [math]P(B)=P(C \text{ or } D)[/math], where [math]C[/math] is the event "you are infected and the test is accurate" and [math]D[/math] is the event "you are not infected and the test is inaccurate". Since [math]C[/math] and [math]D[/math] are mutually exclusive events, [math]P(C \text{ or } D) = P(C)+P(D)[/math].

We assume that the accuracy of the test is independent of the whether or not you are infected. Thus, [math]P(C)=P(\text{You are infected})\times P(\text{The test is accurate})[/math] and [math]P(D)=P(\text{You are not infected})\times P(\text{The test is not accurate})[/math].

We are given that [math]P(\text{You are infected})=0.001[/math] and [math]P(\text{The test is accurate})=0.99[/math], so [math]P(\text{You are not infected})=1-0.001=0.999[/math] and [math]P(\text{The test is not accurate})=1-0.99=0.01[/math]. Substituting values gives [math]P(C)=(0.001\times 0.99)=0.00099[/math] and [math]P(D)=(0.999 \times 0.01)=0.00999[/math], thus [math]P(B)=0.00099+0.00999=0.01098[/math].

Finally, we see that [math]P(B\mid A)=0.99[/math], since the test is 99% accurate and we know you are infected. Putting all the parts together into Bayes' theorem, we see that [math]P(A\mid B)=(0.001/0.01098) \times 0.99 \approx 0.0901[/math], or about 9%.

Second assertion is wrong. There is a 99% chance that you are part of the 0.1%, but you just assume a positive test guarantees (i.e. 100%) that you are part of the 0.1%. The test is NOT 100% accurate, regardless of whether you are actually infected or not.

>>11656052
No, if you know 100% of the population is infected the 99% fag will say it's 100% because he knows the test is irrelevant. And this not just word play but mathematics by Bayes' theorem:
[eqn]P(\text{infected given that the test is positive})=\frac{P(\text{infected and test is positive})}{P(\text{test is positive})},[/eqn]
and if 100% are infected then [math]P(\text{infected and test is positive})=P(\text{test is positive})[/math] because there is no case when you test positive but are not infected (because you're always infected), i.e. you're infected and test positive if and only if you test positive.

It's the same as saying "the chances of a coin flip and 1+1 equaling 2 is the same as the chance of a coin flip" because what you've added on what side is a 100% guaranteed case, i.e. a tautology, and so it does nothing to change the probability of the combined outcome. I mean, if you have 50/50 chance of heads and tails, it's not going to change if you add a condition of the chance of 1+1 equaling 2.

So [eqn]P(\text{infected given that the test is positive})=\frac{P(\text{test is positive})}{P(\text{test is positive})} =1,[/eqn] so 100%.

What the question asks:

The answer to the dumb question is 0.1%, as it is a precondition set in the problem itself.
What the question should ask:
Granted you have tested positive with the aforementioned preconditions, what are the chances you are actually infected?
Given Ar being the Affection rate and Ta the test accuracy, the answer to that question is [math]A_{r}\cdot T_{a}+(1-T_{a})\cdot(1-A_{r})[/math].

The post doesn't specify infected, just affected. If you get tested positive, you will be affected by that result.

Also, regardless of definition, 99% is the closest value to the correct one anyways.

>> No.11656129

>>11656103
Also your equation is wrong because what [math]A_r\cdot T_a + (1-A_r) \cdot (1-T_a)[/math] gives you is the probability that the test is positive. (See >>11655937 )
In words, the equation is basically saying "OK, you can get a positive by actually being infected and having the test work, or by being non-infected and getting a false positive." Now we just replace "and" with multiply and "or" with add to get the symbolic equation. (This makes an assumption of independence. You also have to show mutual exclusion of the events being "or"d, and both these points has been discussed in the linked post above.)
The question is not asking that, but rather is asking the probability of being infected given knowledge that your test is positive.

>> No.11656156

>>11656120
Hmm. Let's think through what you're saying.

>The post doesn't specify infected, just affected.
The question specifically says "COVID-19 affects 0.1% of the population." In the interpretation, we have to assume that 'affected by COVID-19=infected by COVID-19'. There is no other valid interpretation of I can think of where you're 'affected but not infected' or 'infected but not affected'.

>If you get tested positive, you will be affected by that result.
We're not talking about actually infected or not, but rather chances of being infected. So you're statement is ill-posed. I can transfer it to the context of probabilities, where it would say
"the chance you get tested positive will affect your chance of getting infected". Phrased like this, it is right: we have to ASSUME this is not the case.

Formally speaking, we have to assume "the chance of the test being correct is independent of the chance of being infected." You can argue that this is an invalid assumption. Bayes' theorem would not simplify this problem for us if we cannot assume independence of the chances.

But as a remark, I will say it is reasonable to assume independence because the question specified no relation/dependence between chance of the test being correct and the infection chance. But this is just a null hypothesis.

All of you math and Stat gags are too retarded to answer the question as something that pertains to real life and are so fucking focused on answering it like a school question to get your autistic dopamine release. For fucks sake the fact that 0.1% of the population has it is completely useless data. There's absolutely no way of knowing that and there never will be. The data that it's 99% accurate is also almost as useless because testing for this virus without actual sequencing is wholly inconclusive. But if we say we have to error on the side of caution and at least trust the data we've generated and not fucking randomly assume what the population statistic is, you have to answer as 99%. You say that's a high fucking number and now treatment should given as if the person has it. You don't fucking go hur dur math ~9% oh ok well you're probably fine bro.

>the test is correct for 99% of people
>how is that wrong
in this post you explain that the test is 99% correct and question anon's claim

i then explain anon's reasoning for thinking a 99% accurate test won't hit 99 sick out of 100. anon thinks it is an unjustified assumption on our part, that the 1% of errors will be evenly distributed between false positives and false negatives. it is possible, anon says, and consistent with a 99% accurate test, that the erroneous tests will be distributed in the healthy population. in such a case none of the sick will get a false negative, which will change the proportion of true positives/total positives.

but anon's claim that we are not justified in making this assumption is out of place. since we are already assuming the test is randomly wrong, we might as well assume it doesn't discriminate between sick and healthy people when it comes to randomly failing.

Of course it can go down if the test gives a lot less true positives than there are in the population. Since the test is very accurate this indicates it tells the truth about negatives but lies about positives.

If the test's true positive rate is less than 9/998000 then a positive test reduces your chance that you're infected.

You've got to be retarded to think a 2 line problem statement sets up an accurate model

The answer is literally 50%: either you have it, or you don't.

That's the only real answer to every dumb probability question btw, but you blind motherfuckers will keep doin weird maths like the little nerd virgins you are instead of just accepting the truth.

The answer is 100% if you have it or 0% if you don't. There's no such thing as probability, things are either true or false.

There isn't enough information. With 99% accuracy, and 0.1% of people infected, the specificity has to be between 98.999% and 99.099%, but the sensitivity could be anywhere from 0% to 100% (note: just because the sensitivity of a test is 0%, doesn't mean you can't test positive; an event can have a 0% chance of happening, and still happen).

i paraphrase your post
if a test is 99% accurate, then 99% of the time the result is correct
there is 99% accurate test result.
so there is a 99% chance that(result) is correct

so a result "being correct 99% of the time" also makes it have "a 99% chance of being correct"
but if you took the test twice and got different results then each result must have a 99% chance of being correct and a 99% chance of being wrong
how can chances add up to 198%

if believe i found the issue between us. you treat tests like dice with their own intrinsic probability of landing on correct or wrong. "being correct" means to you "rolling a correct". i treat tests as informants. "being correct" means to me "bearing truth" which is an extrinsic property. i obtained the misunderstanding we can all give up the debate now.

That video doesn't apply because the wording is different. This question says "the test for it is 99% accurate". Meaning whatever the result (positive or negative) there's a 99% change that's correct.

The test in that video is "99% accurate for people who have the disease, and incorrectly identity those that don't have the disease". That's saying if it tests positive, there's a 99% chance you sick. Thats not the same, that's why Bayes theorem applies to the situation in the video but not OPs question.

A lot of them just look plain northern/central European.

I honestly think half the Ashkenazim you see in Israel would just be considered white if not for the funny costumes or Jewish names/mannerisms.

Now what happens when it’s like real life and we have Switzerland at 9.7%, Sweden at 10, Madrid at 11%, NYC at 20, etc
100000 people tested
0.1% are sick = 100 people
99.9% are healthy = 99900 people
test accuracy 99%
of the 100 sick, 99 will test as positive
of the 100 sick, 1 will test as negative (FN)
of the 99900 healthy, 999 will test as positive (FP)
of the 99900 healthy, 98901 will test as negative

B

Of 1,000,000 test subjects, 1,000 are actually infected, and 990 will test positive.
On the other hand 999,000 are not infected, of which 9990 will test positive.

1% actually infected. Test arent consequential to actual infection. Even as a semantic argument this is questionable. the question is asking about your own chance of being infected given two facts. testing positive using a 99% accurate test doesn't mean you necessarily have a 99% chance of being positive. i tried to show it by assuming this is true and then seeing what happens when you get tested twice and get two results. it leads to you having a 99% chance of being positive and a 99% chance of being negative. either you accept this, and find some way of explaining what this means, or you have to give up on something.
Conceptually, it is a tricky question, but ok. The answer is 0.1%, because the detection of the virus does not change the state of health of the individual. You either have or do not have an infection of corona virus. Then, you either know it or you don't. Also, accuracy it's not the right term in this regard.
COVID-19 affects 0.1% of the population, n.

Unaffected = 0.999n
Affected = 0.001n

If n are tested

Indepenent Probability of false positive = Unaffected * Chance of inaccuracy = 0.999n * 0.01 = 0.00999n
Independent Probability of true positive = Affected * Chance of accuracy = 0.001n * 0.99 = 0.00099n

Probability of true positive = 0.00099n/(0.00099n + 0.00999n) ~= 9%.
clearly that's not the right approach if the question comes with multiple choices and your answer is indeterminate.
of course you could just attack the premise of the question but that doesn't help anybody
1000 x 0.1% = one infected

1000 x 1% false pos = 10 false pos

1/11 = 9% Cool

Now what happens when it’s like real life and we have Switzerland at 9.7%, Sweden at 10, Madrid at 11%, NYC at 20, etc
100000 people tested
0.1% are sick = 100 people
99.9% are healthy = 99900 people
test accuracy 99%
of the 100 sick, 99 will test as positive
of the 100 sick, 1 will test as negative (FN)
of the 99900 healthy, 999 will test as positive (FP)

Incorrect. Look up what accuracy means in diagnostic testing.

I made a mistake in my calculations. It should have been this.

Hey guys, it has come to my attention that there is some sperglord coming onto this thread every time its remade and posting shit.
Usually he just calls everyone a retard, stupid, autistic, regardless of how they answer the question. Sometimes he poses as OP and makes a point of acting especially retarded. Perfect camouflage, yes, this guy is master of disguise. Other times he just copies random parts of previous posts and spams those over the thread. Another favorite tactic is using google translate to post some gibberish in another language. Sometime he even posts shit upside down or back to front. Yeah, go figure..Probably has a lot of acne.

Obviously we are dealing with someone with way too much time on his hands. Probably binges on Netflix while keeping this thread open in another browser.

So look, please ignore this guy and stay on topic. This is a very interesting and perplexing problem OP has created. We can hone our minds by trying to figure out the correct answer. Its not as simple as you might think, so lets not get distracted by shitposters who...oh...hang on...yeah..look really sorry, I have definitely got to take a shit right now...OMG!...HERE IT COMES! FUUUUCKKKKK! Ohhh!. Oh God. That was a big sticky one. Fuck. God. What was I saying?
