Show all your work and explain each step. A laboratory blood test is 0.95 effective in detecting Corona virus, when it is, in fact, present. However, the test also yields a "false positive" result for 1 percent of the healthy persons tested. (That is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.01, the result will imply s/he has the Corona virus.) If 0.5 percent of the population in King County has the virus, what is the probability a person has the virus given that his or her test result is positive?
