Color blindness is a gender linked inherited condition that is much more common among men than women. Suppose that 5% of all men and .4% of all women are color-blind. A person is chosen at random and found to be color-blind. What is the probabilty that the person is male? You may assume that 50% of the population are men and 50% are women.
