A test for detection of a particular dis...

A test for detection of a particular disease is not fool proof. The test will correctly detect the disease 90% of the time, but will incorrectly detect the disease 1% of the time. For a large population of which an estimated 0.2%  have the disease, a person is selected at random, given the test, and tod that he has the disease. What are the chances that the person actually have the disease?

Suppose that the reliability of a HIV test is specified as follows: Of people having HIV. 90% of the test detects the disease but 10% go undetected. Of people free of HIV, 99% of the test are judged HTV-ive but 1% are diagnosed as showing H3V+ive. From a large population of which only 0.1% have HIV one person is selected at random, given the HIV test, and the pathologist reports him/her as HIV+ive. What is the probability that the person actually has HIV?

Suppose that the reliability of a HIV test is specified as follows. Of people having HIV, 90% of the test detect the diséase but 10% go undetected. Of people free of HIV, 99% of the test judged HIV (-ve) but 1% are diagnosed as showing HIV (+ ve).
