The test performs well: for fetuses with Trisomy 21, the test is positive with probability 0.9914, and for fetuses without Trisomy 21, the test is only positive with probability 0.0006. Assume that the probability
of a fetus carrying Trisomy 21 is 0.001. What are the following quantities?
a. P(Positive Test|Fetus has T21)
b. P(Positive Test|Fetus does not have T21)
c. P(Fetus does not have T21)
d. P(Fetus has T21|Positive Test)
