We're told that

$P(A)=\dfrac1{200}=0.005\implies P(A^C)=0.995$

$P(B\mid A)=0.7$

$P(B\mid A^C)=0.05$

a. We want to find $P(A\mid B)$ . By definition of conditional probability,

$P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(B\cap A)+P(B\cap A^C)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B\mid A^C)P(A^C)$

Then

$P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(B\mid A)P(A)}{P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B\mid A^C)P(A^C)}\approx0.0657$

(the first equality is Bayes' theorem)

b. We want to find $P(A^C\mid B^C)$ .

$P(A^C\mid B^C)=\dfrac{P(A^C\cap B^C)}{P(B^C)}=\dfrac{P(B^C\mid A^C)P(A^C)}{1-P(B)}\approx0.9984$

since $P(B^C\mid A^C)=1-P(B\mid A^C)$ .
