QUESTION 10

At a pathology laboratory it was found that 78% of patients who arrived to be tested for
Covid-19 did have the virus.

A test is conducted for this condition and is found to be 95% accurate when the patient
does have Covid-19. The test is 98% accurate when the patient does not have
Covid-19.

Calculate the probability that a patient selected at random:

a) is informed that they do not have Covid-19 when in fact, they do have the virus.
