A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.7%. (This is percent of people in the population who have the disease.) The false negative rate is 5%; this is the percent of people who really have the disease, but test negative for it. The false positive rate is 3%; this is the percent of people who do not have the disease, but who test positive for it. Compute the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.
