QUESTION 12<br>The test for screening donated blood for the presence of the AIDS virus was developed in the 1980s. It is designed to detect antibodies, substances<br>produced by the body of donors carrying the virus, however it is not 100% accurate. The developer of the test claimed that the test would produce fewer<br>than 5% false positives and fewer than 1% false negatives. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the test 1000 persons known to have AIDS and 10,000<br>persons known to not have aids were given the test. The following results were tabulated:<br>True State of Patient<br>Test Result<br>Has Aids<br>Does Not Have Aids<br>Total<br>Positive Test<br>997<br>530<br>1,527<br>Negative Test<br>9,470<br>9,473<br>
