1. Probability
Of the entire population, 2% has a certain disease X. A test Y, which
indicates whether or not a person has the disease, is not 100%
accurate. If a person has the disease, there is a 6% chance that it
will go undetected by the test. However, there is also a 9% chance of
"false alarm" (meaning that the person does not have the disease but
the test indicates otherwise). A person Z takes a test which later
comes out positive (meaning that the test says he has the
disease). What is the probability of this person having the disease
in reality?
