Question:

What is the conditional probability that the woman will be affected given that the man is affected? How does this value compare with the prevalence in Table 3.5? Why should it be the same (or different)? 


Suppose the probability that both members of a married couple, each of whom is 75€“79 years of age, will have Alzheimer€™s disease is .0015.

Table 3.5: Prevalence of Alzheimer€™s disease (cases per 100 population)

Age group Males Females 65-69 1.6 0.0 70-74 0.0 2.2 75-79 4.9 2.3 80-84 8.6 7.8 85+ 35.0 27.9
