Answer:0.789

Step-by-step explanation:

  20 % person smokes and 80 % don't smoke

Probability that a smoker gets lung cancer=15%

Probability that a non smoker gets lung cancer is =1%

Thus

Probability if a person is diagnosed with cancer he/she is a smoker

P=\frac{Smoker}{Given he gets cancer}

P=\frac{0.2\times 0.15}{0.8\times 0.01+0.2\times 0.15}

P=\frac{0.03}{0.038}=0.789
