I thought of you when I seen this thread.

You confident, cuz, that I can resolve this mathematical intricacy easily?

haha

My guess is 8/999, a bit less than 1%.

I think 999 in your denominator represents the number who don't have the disease but was tested positive. How 'bout the number representing those who have the disease and tested positive?

say 25 is the correct answer, so you have 25, 50, 60, and 25

25 - correct 50 - wrong 60 - wrong 25 - correct

2 correct, 2 wrong well thats 50% not 25

say 50% is right, so you have 25 - wrong 60 - wrong 50 - correct 25 - wrong

1 correct 3 wrong, but thats 25% not 50, so say the answer is 25%....
