Asked by Bridget R.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
A test for a certain drug produces a false negative 5% of the time and false positive 8% of the time. Suppose 12% of the employees at a certain company use the drug.
If an employee at the company tests positive, what is the probability that he or she does not use the drug?

I was totally wrong.
