BRCA1 is a gene that has been linked to breast cancer. Researches at Stanford University wanted to estimate what proportion of w

omen with a family history of breast cancer show a BRCA1 mutation. In 2014, they used DNA analysis to search for BRCA mutations in 173 women with family histories of breast cancer. Of the 173, they found that 29 had BRCA1 mutations. Calculate the Point Estimate. Give your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is the number of women with this mutation divided by the size of the sample.

Of the 173, they found that 29 had BRCA1 mutations.

29/173 = 0.168

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168

For a given event, what is the result of dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes?
Zielflug [23.3K]
Dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes is the definition of the probability of the given event.

P(E)=n(E)/n(S)

example. let the Experiment be throwing a dice. The sample space, all the possible outcomes, is the set S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }  and n(S)=6

Let the even E be: getting an even number. The successful outcomes set is  E {2, 4, 6 } and n(E)=3

So probability of getting an even number is P(E)=n(E)/n(S)=3/6=0.5


Answer: Probability of the given Event
