    0.4490

    Step-by-step explanation:

    P (tested positive) = P (uses steroid and tested positive) + P (not uses steroid and tested positive)

    =0.009*0.9+0.994*0.01=0.01804

    Therefore:

    Therefore P (uses steroid|tested positive) = P (tested positive & uses steroid) / P (tested positive) = 0.009*0.9/0.01804=0.4490
