| P(test indicate cancer)=P(have cancer)*P(test indicate cancer|have cancer)+P(not have cancer)*P(test indicate cancer|not have cancer) | ||||||||
| =0.04*0.99+0.96*0.01=0.0492 | ||||||||
| therefore P(have cancer|test indicate cancer)=P(have cancer)*P(test indicate cancer|have cancer)/P(test indicate cancer)=0.04*0.99/0.0492 =0.805 | ||||||||

A new, simple test has been developed to detect a particular type of cancer. The test must be evaluated before it is put into use. A medical researcher selects a random sample of 2 comma 000 adults and finds (by other means) that 2% have this type of cancer. Each of the 2 comma 000 adults is given the test, and it is found that the test indicates cancer in 99% of those who have it and in 1% of...

A new, simple test has been developed to detect a particular type of cancer. The best must be evaluated before it is put into use. A medical researcher selects a random sample of 1.000 adults and finds by other means that have this type of cancer. Each of the 1.000 adults is given the test, and is found that the test indicates cancer in 96% of those who have it and in 15 of...

A new test to detect TB has been designed. It is estimated that 89% of people taking this test have the disease. The test detects the disease in 97% of those who have the disease. The test does not detect the disease in 99% of those who do not have the disease. If a person taking the test is chosen at random, what is the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease?

Problem 1 [Sans R (a). Say a test can detect a disease with a type I error rate (false positive) of 10 % and a type II error rate (missed positive) of 0.1 %. If a person is randomly chosen from the population, the chance of having this disease is 0.1 %. If a random person is chosen from the population and tests positive for this disease, what is the probability they have this disease? (b). Say a test can...

A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of the mysterious Brainlesserian disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.82. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.06. It is estimated that 13 % of the population who take this test have the disease. If the test administered...

A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of the mysterious Brainlesserian disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.820.82. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.020.02.

A test for detecting cancer which appears to be promising has been developed. It was found that 98% of cancer patients in a hospital reacted positively to the test while 4% of those without cancer reacted positively. 3% of the patients in the hospital have cancer. Let P(C) = Probability of a patient having cancer Let P(NC) = Probability of a patient not having cancer Let P(P+) = Probability of a patient getting a positive result Let P(P-) = Probability...

A medical test has been designed to detect the presence of a certain disease. Among people who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the test is 0.94. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.05. It is estimated that 6% of the population who take this test have the disease. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a)...

for this diagnostic test are five percent and four percent,
respectively. Assume that five percent of the population has this
type of cancer.
