Answer:

0.049

4.9 % of probability

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having the disease is equal to 7%

The probability of testing positive, having the disease is equal to 70%

We are looking for the probability of testing positive.

For that, we need to multiply the probabilities to find the result

P = (0.07)*(0.7)

P = 0.049

P = 4.9%
