A particular study showed that 12% of men will likely develop prostate cancer at some point in their lives. A man with prostate cancer has a 95% chance of a positive test result from a medical screening exam. A man without prostate cancer has a 6% chance of getting a false positive test result. What is the probability that a man has cancer given that he has a positive test result? 0.95 0.1668 0.683 0.317

5359 pregnant women were tested to see if their babies had Down Syndrome (D). The results of the test are given in the table. Use the values in the table to answer parts a-c. a. Given that a test result is negative (NEG), what is the probability that the fetus actually has Down syndrome? P(D|NEG)= b. Given that the fetus has Down syndrome, what is the probability that the test result is negative? P(NEG|D)= c. Is P(D|NEG) equalt to P(NEG|D)? A. Yes, because P(NEG|D) deals with a much larger pool of fetuses than P(D|NEG). B. No, because P(NEG|D) deals with a much smaller pool of fetuses than P(D|NEG). C. No, because P(NEG|D) deals with a much larger pool of fetuses than P(D|NEG). D. Yes, because P(NEG|D) deals with a much smaller pool of fetuses than P(D|NEG)
