उत्तर
We will use here Bayes’ Theorem
`"P"("E"_3/"F") = ("P"("E"_3)*"P"("F"/"E"_3))/("P"("E"_1)*"P"("F"/"E"_1) + "P"("F"/"E"_2) + "P"("E"_3)*"P"("F"/"E"_3))`
= `(3/6*1)/(1/6*0+2/6*1/3 + 3/6*1)`
= `(3/6)/(2/18 + 3/6)`
= `3/6 xx 18/11`
= `9/11`
Hence, the required probabilities are `2/11` and `9/11`.

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when its infection is present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i.e. if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1% of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
