A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 90% of the time. False positives occur 7%. It is estimated that 3.57% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. Compute the following probabilities. (It may help to draw a probability tree
