At a regional hospital, three resident physicians (D1, D2, D3) see 35%, 25%, and 40% of the patients, respectively. Given that a patient sees a particular doctor, they are incorrectly diagnosed (ID) 1%, 0.2%, and 0.8% of the time, respectively, for each of the 3 doctors. What is the overall probability that a patient will be incorrectly diagnosed? a. Pr(D1) * Pr(ID|D1) + Pr(D2) * Pr(ID|D2) + Pr(D3) * Pr(ID|D3) b. Pr(D1) * Pr(ID|D1) + Pr(D2) * Pr(ID|D2) + Pr(D3) * Pr(ID|D3) c. None of the above d. Pr(ID|D1) + Pr(ID|D2) + Pr(ID|D3) Pr(D1 and D2 and D3 | ID) = 0%

Suppose that $2 \%$ of a clinic's patients are known to have cancer. A blood test is developed that is positive in $98 \%$ of patients with cancer but is also positive in $3 \%$ of patients who do not have cancer. If a person who is chosen at random from the clinic's patients is given the test and it comes out positive, what is the probability that the person actually has cancer? (A) 0.02 (B) $0.02+0.03$ $(\mathrm{C})(0.02)(0.98)$ (D) $(0.02)(0.98)+(0.98)(0.03)$ (E) $\frac{(0.02)(0.98)}{(0.02)(0.98)+(0.98)(0.03)}$
