A physician observes that 90% of individuals diagnosed with a rare neurological disease have dry skin, whereas only 10% of healthy individuals have dry skin. Because of this correlation, the physician concludes that anyone with dry skin has a high probability of having the rare neurological disease. What critical error did the physician commit?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. A is correct.
The physician ignored the base rate: because healthy people massively outnumber people with the rare condition, even 10% of the healthy group will far exceed 90% of the diseased group.
