A test for tuberculosis was given to 1,000 subjects, 8% of whom were known to have tuberculosis. For the subjects who had tuberculosis, the test indicated tuberculosis in 90% of the subjects, was inconclusive for 7%, and indicated no tuberculosis in 3%. For the subjects who did not have tuberculosis, the test indicated tuberculosis in 5% of the subjects, was inconclusive for 10%, and indicated no tuberculosis in the remaining 85%. What is the probability of a randomly selected person having tuberculosis given that the test indicates tuberculosis? Of not having tuberculosis given that the test was inconclusive?
