A medical test for malaria is subject to some error. Given a person who has malaria, the probability that the test will fail to reveal the malaria is 0.06. Given a person who does not have malaria, the test will correctly identify that the person does not have malaria with probability 0.91. In a particular area, 20% of the population suffers from malaria.
