PROBLEM
If 10,000 women in this age group undergo a
routine screening, about what fraction of
women with positive tests will actually have
breast cancer?
Bayesian Reasoning
Before the screening:
100 out of 10000women with breast cancer
9,900 out of 10000women without breast cancer
Conditional Probabilities:
A = 80/10,000 = (80/100)*(1/100) = p(B|A)*p(A) = 0.008
B = 20/10,000 = (20/100)*(1/100) = p(~B|A)*p(A) = 0.002
C = 950/10,000 = (9.6/100)*(99/100) = p(B|~A)*p(~A) =
0.095
D = 8,950/10,000 = (90.4/100)*(99/100) = p(~B|~A) *p(~A) =
0.895
