For a certain virus, 22% of the population is infected. A test used to detect the virus has a sensitivity of 90.4% (in other words, if a person.is infected, the test is positive (i.e. correct) 90.4% of the time), and a specificity of 64% (in other words, if a person is not infected, the test is negative (i.e. correct) 64% of the time). Let A be the event "the person is infected" and B be the event "the person tests positive." |AL Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive.
