In this question, we will apply Bayes' Theorem to determine the optimal policy for breast cancer screening, an important public health issue. Many physicians encourage women to have regular mammogram tests to detect breast cancer, so that the cancer can be treated before it spreads. Mammogram tests are very effective. For this question, we will assume that all mammogram test have a sensitivity rate of 90%, and a specificity rate of 90%. (Hint: Sensitivity is the probability for a person who has a disease to be correctly tested positive. Specificity is the probability for a person who does not have a disease to be correctly tested negative.)
