The base rate is the proportion of people who have the disease. The true positive rate is the probability that a person with the disease will test positive. The false positive rate is the probability that someone who does not have the disease will test positive.

    Similarly, the test gives a false positive in 7% of patients who do not have breast cancer: it indicates these patients have breast cancer when they actually do not.39 If we tested a random woman over...Similarly, the test gives a false positive in 7% of patients who do not have breast cancer: it indicates these patients have breast cancer when they actually do not.39 If we tested a random woman over 40 for breast cancer using a mammogram and the test came back positive { that is, the test suggested the patient has cancer { what is the probability that the patient actually has breast cancer?

    Next, we identify two probabilities from the tree diagram. (1) The probability that there is a sporting event and the garage is full: 0.14. (2) The probability the garage is full: \(0.0875 + 0.14 + 0....Next, we identify two probabilities from the tree diagram. (1) The probability that there is a sporting event and the garage is full: 0.14. (2) The probability the garage is full: 0.0875+0.14+0.0225=0.25. Exercise 2.60 In Exercise 2.57 and 2.59, you found that if the parking lot is full, the probability a sporting event is 0.56 and the probability there is an academic event is 0.35.
