Question

Hello I would like to ask for some help on this two-part practice question that I have, mainly with the second part as I don't really get it.

Consider the following domain:

  • a% of men at age fifty who participate in the routine screen have prostate cancer.
  • b% of men with prostate cancer will get a positive prostate-specific antigen test.
  • c% of men without prostate cancer will also get positive prostate-specific antigen test.
  1. Please describe the domain knowledge in terms of probabilities in which C is used to denote prostate cancer and P is used to denote a positive prostate-specific antigen test.
  2. Please follow Bayesian Reasoning (show mathematic steps) to find out if a man in this age group gets a negative prostate-specific antigen test, what is the probability that he doesn't prostate cancer?

So far I have the following but I don't really know how to convert part two as it was one of a few cases  

1. The domain knowledge contains the following 6 possibilities - I'm pretty sure this is right but would like to check it just in case.

  1. P (C) = a%
  2. P (Bar_C) = 1- a%
  3. P (P | C) = b%
  4. P ( Bar_P | C) = 1 - b%
  5. P (P | Bar_C ) = c%
  6. P ( Bar_P| Bar_C ) = 1 - c%

    2. P ( | ) = ? = ? = ? This is the bit that I don't know how to convert and need the most help with. I been looking up stuff on it but can't find it for the inverse case anywhere in my textbook or in lectures/online.


    Extra info: For some extra ref I'm pretty sure right for when it is for the following question:


    Please follow Bayesian Reasoning (show mathematic steps) to find out if a man in this age group gets a negative prostate-specific antigen test, what is the probability that he does prostate cancer?

    Nvm someone else answered similar one that was unanswered bit ago.

    P (CLP) P(COP) P(P) P(PNC) P(PNC) + P(PNC) P(PC)*P(C) P(P|C)*P(C)+P(P|C)*P(C) (c%)*(1-a%) (b%)*(a%)+(c%)*(1-a%)
