Research has shown that approximately 1 woman in
500500
carries a mutation of a particular gene. About
6969 %
of women with this mutation develop
breastbreast
cancer. Find the probability that a randomly selected woman will carry the mutation of this gene and will develop
breastbreast
cancer.
Homework Answers
P(carries a mutation of a particular gene) = 1/500 = 0.002
P(breast cancer| carry mutation of a gene) = 0.69
P(woman will carry the mutation of this gene and will develop breast cancer ) = 0.69*0.002=0.00138 (answer)

In the general population, one woman in eight will develop breast cancer. Research has shown that 1 woman in 600 carries a mutation of the BRCA gene. Seven out of 10 women with this mutation develop breast cancer. Find the probability that a randomly selected woman will develop breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the BRCA gene. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Studies show that approximately one woman in seven who live to be 90 will develop breast cancer. Assume that of those women who develop breast cancer, a test for breast cancer is negative 2% of the time (i.e., false negative). Also, assume that the test for breast cancer is negative 85% of the time. a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen woman develops breast cancer? b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen woman tests negative for...

A woman in a high risk population has the gene for sickle-cell is 1/10. If the woman has the gene each of her children has the probability 1/2 of having the disease, if she does not the probability is zero. If the woman has 3 sons without sickle-cell what is the probability that she carries the sickle-cell gene?

Approximately 3% of women aged 40-50 have breast cancer. A woman with breast cancer has a 90% chance of positive test from a mammogram, while a woman without breast cancer has a 2% chance of a positice result. What is the probability that a woman has breast cancer given that she just had a positive test?

Elizabeth, age 27, had heard about the discovery of the gene and
about the mutation linked to Jewish women. Her paternal grandmother
had been diagnosed with breast cancer at age 51 and died two years
later, and Elizabeth worried that she may have inherited a variant
that would put her at increased risk.
She also worried about her mother, age 52 and apparently
cancer-free so far, and her 7- year old daughter.
Her daughter is not allowed to participate in...
