I would be using conditional probability to find the probability of a student testing positive for the XYZ disease, actually having the disease. I would be using the conditional probability

Can someone advise me the math processes I could use for this. I tried making a scatter plot but since both of my variables consist of whole numbers it

Ok, so here's the deal. I am a part of a new program at my school, which comprisises of about 15 boys doing the IB Mathematical Studies Course in one year instead of the standard two. Effectively this gets all maths out of the way, and leaves us time to do other subjects in year 12. My problem is that they have basically just thrown our IA deadlines at us, without really taking us through possible topics and having conversations with us about how/what to choose. I am looking along the lines of a footballing topic such as; "Investigating the relationship between the height/weight of a player a
