Assume the following to be true about newborn hearing loss and screening:
The prevalence of newborn hearing loss is 1%.
The sensitivity of screening is 95% (i.e., 5% of those with hearing loss will be missed by the screening).
The specificity of screening is 80% (i.e., 20% of those who fail screening will subsequently be found to be normal-hearing).
Given that a newborn fails the screening, what is the probability that they actually do have hearing loss?
(HINT: the definition of “conditional probability” is key to solving this problem.)
