Color blindness is a sex-linked, inherited condition that is much more common among males than females. Suppose that 5% of all males and 0.2% of all females are color-blind. A person is chosen at random and found to be color-blind. What is the probability that the person is male? (You may assume that 50% of the population are male and 50% are female.) The conditional probability that a person is male is (Type an integer or a fraction.)
