A laboratory blood test is \(99\%\) defecting a certain disease when it is, infact present.However the test also yields a falls positive result for \(0.5\%\) of the healthy person tested(i.e.,if a healthy person is tested,then with probability 0.005,the test will imply he has the diesease).If \(0.1\%\) of the population actually has the disease,what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
In answering a question on a multiple choice test a student either knows the answeror guesses.Let \(\frac{3}{4}\) be the probability that he knows the answer and \(\frac{1}{4}\) be the probability that he guesses.Assuming that the student who guessws the answer,will be correct with probability \(\frac{1}{4}\).What is the probability that a student knows the answer given that he answered it correctly?
