36 The reliability of a COVID PCR test is specified as follows: Of people having COVID, 90% of the test
detects the disease but 10% goes undetected. Of people free of COVID, 99% of the test is judged
COVID negative but 1% are diagnosed as showing COVID positive. From a large population of which
only 0.1% have COVID, one person is selected at random, given the COVID PCR test, and the
pathologist reports him/her as COVID positive.

Based on the above information, answer the following

i) What is the probability of the ‘person to be tested as COVID positive’ given that ‘he is 1
actually having COVID?
ii) What is the probability of the ‘person to be tested as COVID positive’ given that ‘he is 1
actually not having COVID’?
iii) What is the probability that the ‘person is actually not having COVID? 2
