In a rural population, 10% of the school-age children have been exposed to TB (tubercu-
losis). The Mantoux skin test is available to test for such exposure. When a child who has
been exposed to TB is given the test, a positive test result occurs 95% of the time. If the
child has not been exposed to TB, a positive test result occurs only 1% of the time. A
child is selected at random and tested. If the test result is positive, what is the probability
that the child has been exposed to TB? DO NOT simplify your answer.
