1. Following the results of a long term monitoring study that investigate the percentage of lung cancer in a society it is found that 90% of all lung cancer (C) patients are smokers (S) and the rest 10% are non-smokers. Also the study concludes that there is 0.125 chance that a smoking person develops lung cancer, while 1 in 16 people in the society has cancer and the rest does not. Please solve this question WITHOUT using Venn Diagram in any of the calculations and showing all intermediate steps. We would like to see each and every single addition/multiplication made in your solution. a) find the ratio of smokers in the society, b) show whether or not “smoking and cancer-free" event is statistically independent from “non-smoking and have cancer" event, c) show whether or not "cancer" and “non-smoking" events are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive events.
