Percentage of the population


Suppose that a test for Hepatitis C is 98% accurate in that if a person has Hepatitis C, the test will indicate "positive" with 0.98 probability, and if a person does not have Hepatitis C, the test will indicate "negative" with 0.98 probability. The percentage of the population that has Hepatitis C is 0.007. Based on these probabilities, if a person tests positive for Hepatitis C, what is the probability that the person actually has Hepatitis C?

0.0069
