Suppose a particular type of cancer hasa 0.7%0.7% incidence rate. Let DD be the eventthat a person has this type of cancer,therefore P(D)=0.007P(D)=0.007. A test for this type of cancerhas a false positive rate of 9%9%. The test correctly confirmsthe presence of the cancer with an accuracy of 92%92%. Supposethat the test indicates that a person has cancer. What is theprobability that the person actually does have cancer? Round youranswer to four decimal places, if necessary.
