Practical Applications

Probability in Medicine and Health

Health Decisions Powered by Probability

Doctors use probability to decide on tests, treatments, and to assess risks. Understanding the likelihood of different health outcomes helps everyone make better choices.

Probability in Action

  • Interpreting the chances of a test being positive or negative.
  • Calculating the risk of side effects from medicine.

Probability is a vital tool in keeping us healthy and safe.

Examples

  • A doctor explains that a medicine has a 2% chance of causing drowsiness.

  • A test for a disease is 95% accurate, which means out of 100 people, about 95 will get the correct result.
