Latent tuberculosis A. will result in a negative tuberculin skin test. B. is easily spread through respiratory droplets. C. accounts for only a small minority of cases. D. results when M. tuberculosis bacteria are phagocytized and effectively walled off within granulomas in the lungs. E. will eventually progress to active TB in most individuals.

Medical: Tuberculosis The state medical school has discovered a new test for tuberculosis. (If the test indicates a person has tuberculosis, the test is positive.) Experimentation has shown that the probability of a positive test is 0.82, given that a person has tuberculosis. The probability is 0.09 that the test registers positive, given that the person does not have tuberculosis. Assume that in the general population, the probability that a person has tuberculosis is 0.04. What is the probability that a person chosen at random will (a) have tuberculosis and have a positive test? (b) not have tuberculosis? (c) not have tuberculosis and have a positive test?
