Trisomy 18 (T18) is a rare genetic disorder that severely disrupts a baby's development prior to birth. Many die before birth and most die before their first birthday. T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U. S. A genetic test on the mother's blood can be done to test for T18 in her baby. The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384. The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97. The probability of a negative test result for a baby without T18 is 0.99. A mother's blood tests positive for T18. What is the probability that her baby has T18

3.74% probability that her baby has T18

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test.

Event B: The baby having T18.

T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U.S.

This means that

The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97.

This means that

The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384.

This means that

What is the probability that her baby has T18

3.74% probability that her baby has T18
