Assume that the probability of having a rash if one has measles is P(R | M) = 0.95. However, occasionally, children with flu also develop a rash, and the probability of having a rash if one has flu is P(R | F) = 0.08. Upon examining the child, the doctor finds a rash. What is the probability that the child has measles?
