How do I solve parts D,E and D?

Problem 5
Recently, a nurse commented that when a patient calls the medical advice line claiming to have the flu, the chance
that he or she truly has the flu (and not just a nasty cold) is only about 4%. Of the next 25 patients calling in claiming to
have the flu, we are interested in how many actually have the flu.
