A medical test is conducted to determine whether someone has a disease. Suppose that 8% of population has this disease. The test has a 95% chance of detecting the disease, if the person has the disease, and a 90% chance of indicating that the disease is absent, if the person does not have the disease. What is the probability that a person has the disease, given that this person has tested positive(5mks).
