In a town with an epidemic, the probability that a randomly chosen person is infected is . A test for the disease has sensitivity and specificity . If a person tests positive, they are retested with a different test having sensitivity and specificity . Assuming the two tests are conditionally independent, what is the probability the person is actually infected given both tests returned positive results?
