4 out of 5 doctors at Harvard cannot answer a question from introductory statistics
Dr Clare Craig @ClareCraigPath
For those interested in the correct answer...
Imagine testing 1000 patients.
5% will be false positive = 50
1 will be a true positive.
Therefore, the chance that any one patient with a positive test result has the disease is 1 in 50 or 2%.
