A veterinarian has invented an allergy test for cats. Sam the cat seems to be allergic to tina the dog. If 2% of cats are allergic to dogs and the vet's allergy test correctly indicates an allergy 98% of the time and only gives a false positive result 0.5% of the time, what is the probability sam is allergic to tina given the allergy test comes back positive?

Suppose a county's recent health report gives a pet allergy prevalence of 0.23 for kids.
