Medical cases histories indicate that different illnesses may produce identical symptoms. Suppose a particular set of symptoms, “H” occurs only with probabilities 0.01, 0.005 and 0.02, respectively. The probability of developing the symptoms H, given illness A, B and C are 0.90, 0.95 and 0.75, respectively. Assuming that an ill person shows symptoms H, what is the probability that a person has illness A?

The probability that a person has a certain disease is 0.05. Medical diagnostic tests are available to determine whether the person actually has the disease. If the disease is actually present, the probability that the medical diagnostic test will give a positive result (indicating that the disease is present) is 0.92.
