A mammogram was used to screen for breast cancer in 200 women with breast cancer diagnosed by a biopsy and in 500 age- and race-matched women without breast cancer. The results of the mammogram were positive in 150 of the women with breast cancer and in 100 of the women without breast cancer. b.

Given these facts: Using the case of testing women for breast cancer (*) 1% have breast cancer 99% don’t have breast cancer Mammogram tests In event of a woman with cancer 80% of mammograms detect breast cancer when it is there (positive) 20% miss it (false negative) In event of no cancer 9.6% of mammograms detect breast cancer when it’s not there (false positive) 90.4% correctly return a negative result.

Epidemiologists claim that the probability of breast cancer among Caucasian women in their mid-60s is 0.003. An established test identified people who had breast cancer and those that were healthy. A new mammography test in clinical trials has a probability of 0.90 for detecting cancer correctly. In women without breast cancer, it has a chance of 0.975 for a negative result. If a 65-year-old Caucasian woman tests positive for breast cancer, what is the probability that she, in fact, has...

16. An epidemiologic study of breast cancer among elderly women followed 1,000 women, 65-79 years of age, without evidence of breast cancer over several years. Every two years the investigators examined the women for breast cancer. The results were as follows: 12 new cases at the first evaluation, 11 new cases at the second evaluation, 23 new cases at the third evaluation, and 28 new cases at the fourth (and final) evaluation. The investigators also noted that 40 women had...

Literature shows that the incidence of breast cancer is 150 cases per 100,000 women aged 45-49 years old annually. The researchers want to test whether regular intake of vitamin D would reduce 20% of the risk of the occurence of breast cancer. They plan to recruit women aged 45-49 years who are free of breast cancer at the beginning and randomly assign them into two groups, i.e., group one: women in this group will receive vitamin D treatment, and group...
