To solve the problem, we will use Bayes' theorem, which allows us to find the probability of an event based on prior knowledge of conditions related to the event. ### Given Data: - Let \( E_1 \): The event that a person is suffering from T.B. - Let \( E_2 \): The event that a person is not suffering from T.B. - Let \( A \): The event that the doctor diagnoses the person as having T.B. - The probability that a person suffers from T.B., \( P(E_1) = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01 \). - The probability that a person does not suffer from T.B., \( P(E_2) = 1 - P(E_1) = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99 \). ...
