certain region of the country it is known that 7% of the population has a certain type of cancer. If the probability of a doctor correctly diagnosing a person with this cancer as having the disease is 0.96 (correct positive), and the probability of incorrectly diagnosing a person without cancer as having the disease is 0.07 (false positive), what is the probability that a person diagnosed as having cancer actually has the disease?
