A certain test for mononucleosis has a 99% chance of correctly diagnosing a patient with mononucleosis and a 5% chance of misdiagnosing a patient who does not have the infection. Suppose the test is given to a group where 1% of the people have mononucleosis. If a randomly selected patient's test result is positive, what is the probability that she has mononucleosis? Explain. This aligns to S-CP.B.8 S-CP.A.4.
