A diagnostic test has a probability 0.92 of giving a positive result when applied to a person suffering from a certain cancer, and a 0.03 probability of giving a false positive when testing someone without that cancer. Say that 1 person in 15,000 suffers from this cancer. What is the probability that someone will be misclassified by the test? Your answer should be in a form we could easily enter it into a calculator
