Question

if the frequency of a suspected condition is one in 20 patients, stronger evidence is necessary for making that diagnosis than for a condition where the frequency is one in 20 million. true false

Explanation:

In medical diagnosis, rarer conditions (like one in 20 million) require stronger evidence to confirm. This is because common conditions (one in 20) are more likely to occur randomly, so less evidence might be enough to suspect them. For very rare conditions, to avoid misdiagnosis, more rigorous evidence is needed.

Answer:

False
