Imagine that you are a physician and you have just received the results back for a patient of yours who has just tested positive for the “heartbreak of psoriasis”. The test used will correctly label a person who is suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” as a sufferer 90% of the time and will correctly label a person who is not suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” as not being a sufferer 60% of the time. If the base-rate of suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” is 5%, explain to your patient how likely she is actually suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” on the basis of this positive result.
