 Measles

In order to determine the effectiveness of a new

measles antibody test, it is administered to 500 people
chosen at random. An older more elaborate test reveals
that 425 of the people have the measles antibodies. The
new test was positive when administered to 96% of
those who have the antibodies and it also gave positive
results in 4% of those who do not have them. Based on
these results, what is the probability that a randomly
chosen person has measles antibodies in his/her blood if
the new test indicates their presence?
