Performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs)
Officials administer a drug test to 500 athletes to determine if they are using performance-enhancing drugs
(PEDS). A positive result indicates that the athlete is using performance-enhancing drugs; a negative result
indicates that the athlete is not using these drugs. However, this test is not 100% accurate, so some errors
occur.
Prevalence equals the percent of all population members who share a certain characteristic (e.g.,
PED use). What is the prevalence of PED use in the population of athletes from the table?
