Question 322562: Initial diagnosis of a patient's illness was potentially flu (f) cold (C) or hay fever (H) with probabilities of .2, .3, and .5 respectively. A lab test was then taken from the patient. past tests on similar patients show show the following conditional probabilities on the test result being positive + neutral (0) or negative (-)
p(+/f)= 0.8 p(o/f)=.1 p(-/f)= .1
P(+/c)= 0.2 p(0/c)=.7 p(-/c)=.1
p(+/h)= 0.1 p(o/h)=.3 p(-/h)=.6
