The second population contains 100 people without the disease. Of them we expect one person to have a false positive. In addition the person who actually has the disease will test positive. So on average 2 people will test positive, one of whom has the disease and one of whom doesn't. If you are one of those two people you have a 50% chance of your (positive) diagnosis being false.
