In a genetic study, an allele occurs in of the population. A test for the presence of the allele has a false positive rate of and a false negative rate of . If an individual tests positive, the probability they actually carry the allele is . If the same individual is tested a second time independently and tests positive again, what is the new probability that they carry the allele?
