(5pt) Question 4. Assume that the probability that a randomly selected child has high levels of lead in his or her blood
(5pt) Question 4. Assume that the probability that a randomly selected child has high levels of lead in his or her blood is 0.1. That is, the probability that a randomly selected child has low or normal levels of lead in his or her blood is 0.9. One of the symptoms of lead poisoning is anemia (low levels of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin). Given that a random selected child has high levels of lead, the probability of experiencing anemia is 0.7. However, given that a random selected child has low or normal levels of lead, the probability of experiencing anemia is 0.2. If you know that a randomly selected child has experienced anemia, what is the probability that the child has high levels of lead?
