A screening test for a disease shows a positive result in 95% of all cases when the disease is actually present and in 10% of all cases when it is not. If the prevalence of the disease is 1 in 50 and an individual tests positive, what is the probability that the individual actually has the disease?

A screening test for a disease shows a positive result in 95% of all cases when the disease is actually present and in 10% of all cases when it is not. If a result is positive, the test is repeated.
