What is the probability that an individual has this disease


A test has been developed to detect a particular type of arthritis in individuals over 50 years old. From a national survey, it is known that approximately 10% of the individuals in this age group suffer from this form of arthritis. The proposed test was given to individuals with confirmed arthritic disease, and a correct test result was obtained in 85% of the cases. When the test was administered to individuals of the same age group who were known to be free of the disease, 4% were reported to have the disease. What is the probability that an individual has this disease given that the test indicates its presence?
