One of the 500 people is Jones, who knows that he has the disease.

C) What does Jones think is the probability that more than one person has the disease? As the pooled test was positive, the authorities have decided to test each individial seperately. The first i - 1 of these tests were negative, and the i-th one - which was Jones - was positive
