An athletic league does drug testing of its athletes, 10 percent of whom use drugs. This test, however, is only 95 percent reliable. That is, a drug user will test positive with probability 0.95 and negative with probability 0.05, and a nonuser will test negative with probability 0.95 and positive with probability 0.05. Develop a probability tree diagram to determine the posterior probability of each of the following outcomes of testing an athlete.\ A. The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is positive. B. The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is positive. C. The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is negative. D. The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is negative. . E. Use the Excel template for posterior probabilities to check your answers in the preceding parts.
