0.981

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the probability that an individual who has the symptoms and who reacts positively to the test has hepatitis

Let be the event that denotes the symptoms has hepatitis and denotes the symptoms have not hepatitis

Let A be the event the denotes the blood test result positive  

We have to find the value of

We have

Using formula

Substitute the values in the given formula

Then,we get

Hence, the probability that an individual who has the symptoms and who reacts positively to the test actually has hepatitis =0.981
