Test predicts he has it 0.85
Test predicts he doesn’t have it 0.15
Kevin has diabetes 0.75
Kevin doesn’t have diabetes 0.25

1) The probability that Kevin has diabetes and the test predicts he has diabetesP=0.75*0.85=0.63752) The probability that Kevin has diabetes and the test predicts the opposite to the true P=0.75*0.15=0.11253) The probability that Kevin not have diabetes and the test predicts it correctlyP=0.25*0.85=0.2125
4) The probability that Kevin not have diabetes and the test predicts he has diabetesP=0.25*0.15=0.0375
