Percentage of the population


A screening test has been developed for the certain disease. Records show that 8% of adults have the strong form of disease, 17% have a mild form of disease, and the remaining adult population is free of disease. The test isn't completely reliable. A person with the strong form of disease has a 5% chance of testing negative, thereby falsely indicating that he or she doesn't have the disease. A person with the mild form of disease has a 13% chance of testing negative. A person who doesn't have the disease has an 11% of testing positive, thereby falsely indicating that the disease is present. What percentage of the population would you expect to test positive for the disease? give your answer rounded to the nearest whole percent (Be sure to include units.)
