Question
Diagnostic tests of medical conditions have several results. The test result can be positive or
negative. A positive test (+) indicates the patient has the condition. A negative test (–)
indicates the patient does not have the condition. Remember, a positive test does not prove
the patient has the condition. Additional medical work may be required. Consider a random
sample of 132 patients, some of whom have a medical condition and some of whom do not.
Results of a new diagnostic test for the condition are shown.2
  Condition Present Condition Absent Row Total
Test Result + 112 20 132
Test Result – 20 57 77
Column Total 132 77 209

 
Assume that the sample is representative of the entire population. For a person selected at random, find P (condition absent | getting test result –). Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
