Thanks, ICOT. I am a bit of a trivia hound (bonus trivia riddle: What is the correct term to describe this? hint- I was afraid of the mods misunderstanding).
BTW, you got the correct response to my riddle! Very impressive. You see, I expected that most people wouldn’t catch the need to look at it conditionally. If told that a test comes back positive on 92% of people with a condition, most people would assume that this is the same as saying 92% of people who get a positive have the condition.
I’d still like to see Dr. Pepper solve this with Venn diagrams 🙂
