Note that 5% of the population suffers from a particular disease. There is a diagnostic test to identify this disease. If a person who has the disease undergoes the test, 99% the test becomes positive. Similarly, if a person who does not have this disease undergoes this test, 5% the time the test becomes positive. If a randomly selected person undergoes this test and the test becomes positive, what is the probability that he actually has the disease? Enter your answer to the nearest FOUR decimal places.
