State Bayes' Theorem b) Suppose a certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.1%

(that is, it afflicts 0.1% of the population). A test has been devised to detect this

disease. The test does not produce false negatives (that is, anyone who has the

disease will test positive for it), but the false positive rate is 5% (that is, 5% of

people who do not have the disease will test positive).

 Using Bayes' Theorem, find the probability that this person actually has the

disease?

I wasn't able to parse your question, but the HE.NET team is hard at work making me smarter.
