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 2,000 adults and finds (by other means) that 2% have
this type of cancer. Each of the 2,000 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 those who do not. Based on these results, what is the probability of a randomly
chosen person having cancer given that the test indicates cancer? Of a person having cancer given that the test does
not indicate cancer?
Based on these results, what is the probability of a
randomly chosen person having cancer given that the
test indicates cancer?
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
