Question:

Steroids A company has developed a drug test to detect steroid use by athletes. The test is accurate 95% of the time when an athlete has taken steroids.

(a) Make a tree diagram showing the sample space of this chance process.

(b) What’s the probability that the randomly selected athlete tests positive? Show your work.

(c) Suppose that the chosen athlete tests positive.

What’s the probability that he or she actually used steroids? Show your work.
