In a particular test for Diabetes, 93% of those who were known to have the disease showed a positive test result for the disease. Of those who were known to not have the disease (control group), 1% showed a positive test result. One in 1000 people are thought to have Diabetes. State the three given probabilities in this question, using correct probability notation so that it is clear whether each is a conditional or marginal probability.
