Impurity

A chemist wishes to detect an impurity in a certain compound that she is making. There is a test that detects an impurity with probability 0.90; however, this test indicates that an impurity is there when it is not about 5% of the time. The chemist produces compounds with the impurity about 20% of the time. A compound is selected at random from the chemist’s output. The test indicates that an impurity is present. What is the conditional probability that the compound actually has the impurity?
