A doctor is to visit a patient. From the past experience, it is known that the probabilities that he will come by train, bus, scooter or by other means of transport are respectively (3)/(10),(1)/(5),(1)/(10) and (2)/(5) and. The probabilities that he will be late are (1)/(4), (1)/(3) and (1)/(12) and if he comes by train, bus and scooter respectively, but if he comes by other means of transport, then he will not be late.

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false 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 disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive ?
