In a town, 10% of the population is HIV positive. A
new diagnostic kit arrived in the market. This kit
correctly identifies HIV positive individual 95% of the
time and HIV negative individual 89% of time. A
particular patient is tested by this kit and is found to be
positive. Then the probability that the patient is
actually positive ________.
Manish has to travel from A to D changing buses at
stops B and C enroute. The maximum waiting time at
either stop can be 8 minutes each, but any time of
waiting up to 8 minutes is equally likely at both places.

he is to arrive at D on time. What is the probability that
