A paper demonstrated the application of Bayes's Rule for making inferences about testosterone abuse among athletes. In a population of 1000 athletes, suppose 150 are illegally using testosterone. Of the users, suppose 75 would test positive for testosterone. Of the nonusers, suppose 17 would test positive. a. Given that the athlete is a user, find the probability that a drug test for testosterone will yield a positive result. (This probability represents the sensitivity of the drug test.) (Simplify your answer.)
