Math Problem Statement
The NIH is creating a test for the Zika virus. The incidence of a Zika is low, 11 percent in the general population. There is a trial version, but it sometimes misses the disease. The probability of a false negative is 3 percent. Similarly, someone who does not have Zika, will sometimes get a positive reading. The probability of this is 30 percent. Fill in the tree diagram and ... Answer in percent to 2 decimal places. using tree diagram to solve
