Use the following information to answer questions 4 and 5. It is known that 2% of the population has a certain disease. A test for this disease is 90% accurate. This means that the outcome of the test is correct 90% of the time. A positive test result claims that a person has the disease.

4. Determine the probability that a randomly selected person will test positive for this disease. (Answer accurate to at least 3 decimal places.) (3 marks)
