People,

If Test 1 estimates the likelihood of Population A of being Type Z as 60% and if a completely separate and unrelated Test 2 estimates the likelihood of Population A of being Type Z as 70%, is the likelihood that Population A being Type Z raised above 70% ?

My gut feeling is that if the results of the two tests are greater than 50% and the two tests are unrelated, the actual likelihood should be more than the mean of the two tests.

Thanks,

Phil.
