After watching 10-15 videos about the topic I found THIS PARTICULAR ONE which made it very clear and should back up the awesome answers by @Jamie Hall and @Alexander Etz | |
| Apr 29, 2016 at 6:05 | comment | added | Matthew Gunn | @RyanWilliams Your math is correct! What's not correct is the intuitive notion that, "if the test came back positive, then it shouldn't have such a high probability that there's no tumor present," at least for the probabilities given in this particular problem. | |
