A test for detecting cancer which appears to be promising has been developed. It was found that 98% of cancer patients in a hospital reacted positively to the test while 4% of those without cancer reacted positively. 3% of the patients in the hospital have cancer.
Let P(C) = Probability of a patient having cancer
Let P(NC) = Probability of a patient not having cancer
Let P(P+) = Probability of a patient getting a positive result
Let P(P-) = Probability of a patient getting a negative result

9. Suppose a certain type of cancer is diagnosed by first administering a test, looking at the test result and then making the diagnosis. If the test is positive, the patient is diagnosed as having the cancer. If the test is negative, the person is diagnosed as not having the cancer. Let event the person has the cancer and event P the test result is positive. Being diagnosed as having (not having) the cancer does not mean the person has...
