Around 5 percent of patients actually have mononucleosis p(M) = .05. 90 percent of patients with mono complain of a sore throat p(S|M) = .9 but 30 percent of those without mono also complain of a sore throat p(S|M’) = .3. Given that a patient complains of a sore throat, what is the probability that she has mono p(M|S)?
