5. Suppose the probability that a person picked at random has lung cancer is 0.035 and the probability that the person both has lung cancer and is a heavy smoker is 0.014. Given that someone picked at random has lung cancer, what is the probability that the person is a heavy smoker? A. 0.035 - 0.014 B. 0.035 + 0.014 C. 0.035 + 0.014 - (0.035)(0.014) D. 0.035 / (1 - 0.014) E. 0.014 / 0.035

Suppose the probability that a person picked at random has lung cancer is 0.035 and the probability that the person both has lung cancer and is a heavy smoker is 0.014. Given that someone picked at random has lung cancer, what is the probability that the person is a heavy smoker?

A recent survey by the American Cancer Society shows that the probability that someone is a smoker is P(S) = 0.19. It has also determined that the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that he or she is a smoker, is P(LC|S) = 0.158. What is the probability (rounded to the nearest hundredth) that a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer P(S ∩ LC)? (4 points) a) 0.03 b) 0.83 c) 0.35 d) 0.02
