5 0

0.1 = 1/10 or 10%
0.01 = 1/100 or 1%
0.001 = 1/1000 or 0.1% (a tenth of 1%)
0.0001 = 1/10000 or 0.01% (a hundredth of 1%)

The last one is the smallest.

Suppose a particular type of cancer has a 0.9% incidence rate. Let D be the event that a person has this type of cancer, therefo

Answer:

There is a 12.13% probability that the person actually does have cancer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities.

A 0.9% probability of a person having cancer

A 99.1% probability of a person not having cancer.

If a person has cancer, she has a 91% probability of being diagnosticated.

If a person does not have cancer, she has a 6% probability of being diagnosticated.

The question can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem we have the following question

What is the probability that the person has cancer, given that she was diagnosticated?

P(B) is the probability of the person having cancer, so $P(B) = 0.009$

P(A/B) is the probability that the person being diagnosticated, given that she has cancer. So $P(A/B) = 0.91$

P(A) is the probability of the person being diagnosticated. If she has cancer, there is a 91% probability that she was diagnosticard. There is also a 6% probability of a person without cancer being diagnosticated. So

$P(A) = 0.009*0.91 + 0.06*0.991 = 0.06765$

What is the probability that the person actually does have cancer?

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.91*0.009}{0.0675} = 0.1213$

There is a 12.13% probability that the person actually does have cancer.

pantera1 [17]

Yes, they are proportional because if you increase or decrease either amount they will both change. They will always have the same size. For example if I want to double the flour, I will have to double the milk as well because they have the same ratio.
