5% of the people of your age/heredity suffer from TB. A blood test was developed that correctly gives a positive test result in 80% of people with TB, and gives a false positive in 20% of the cases of people without TB. Suppose you take the test, and it is positive. What is the probability that you actually have TB, given the positive test result?
Does this problem use conditional probability? If so, please let me know how to use it in this problem?
