Answer question ONE in section A and any other TWO question in section B
Section A: Answer question One (30 marks)
Read rule below and answer the questions that follow:
R1: if blood test results is = “YES”
THEN there is 0.8 the evidence that disease is “malaria”
R2: if malaria zone = “YES”
THEN there is 0.5 evidence that the disease is malaria
R3: if bit by a flying bug is “True”
Then there is 0.3 evidence that disease is “malaria”
