This question asks you to extend the medical-test example from class. Suppose there is a medicalcondition that afflicts 20% of the population. There is a test for this condition, and the reliabilityof this test can be characterized as follows:• false-positive rate = 10%for those who do not have the condition, 10% willtest positive.for those who have the condition, 5% will test neg-• false-negative rate = 5%ative.(a) If you receive a positive test result, what is the likelihood that you have the condition?If you receive a negative test result, what is the likelihood that you do not have the condition?(b) Repeat part (a), except now assume that the false-positive rate is 5% and the false-negativerate is 10%.
