A person takes 3 tests in succession. The probability of his (her) passing the first test is 0.8. The probability of passing each successive test is 0.8 or 0.5 according as he passes or fails the preceding test. Find the probability of his (her) passing at least 2 tests.

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease,when it is infact present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (ie. if a healthy person is tested, then with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1% of the population actually has the disease, then what is the probability that a person has disease, given that his test result is positive?
