Suppose a lung cancer test is 85% sensitive and 93% specific. That is,the test will produce 85% true positive results for those with lung cancerand 93% true negative results for those without lung cancer. Supposethat 3.2% of people actually have lung cancer. If a randomly selectedindividual tests positive, what is the probability he or she does not havecancer?YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE BETWEEN O AND 100 AND ROUNDED To 4DECIMAL PLACES.(e.g. 59.5321 would be 59.5321%)
