Trisomy 18 (T18) is a rare genetic disorder that severely disrupts a baby's development prior to birth. Many die before birth and most die before their first birthday. T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U.S. A genetic test on the mother's blood can be done to test for T18 in her baby. The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384. The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97. The probability of a negative test result for a baby without T18 is 0.99. A mother's blood tests positive for T18. What is the probability that her baby has T18? (A) 0.0004 (B) 0.0374 (C) 0.4902 (D) 0.97 (E) 0.99
