(2) A screening program can detect an abused child 90% of the time, and
(3) A screening program would incorrectly label 3% of all non abused children as abused. What is the probability that a child is actually abused given that the screening program makes that diagnosis? How does the probability change if the incidence of abuse is one in one thousand? Or one in fifty?
