Question:

A new lie-detector test has been devised and must be tested before it is used. One hundred people are selected at random, and each person draws a card from a box of 100 cards. Half the cards instruct the person to lie, and the others instruct the person to tell the truth. Of those who lied, 80% fail the new lie-detector test (that is, the test indicates lying). Of those who told the truth, 5% failed the test. What is the probability that a randomly chosen subject will have lied given that the subject failed the test? That the subject will not have lied given that the subject failed the test?
