A recent study found that 85% of breast-cancer cases are detectable by mammogram. Suppose a random sample of 13 women with breast cancer are given mammograms. Find the probability that all of the cases are detectable, assuming that detection in the cases is independent. The probability that all of the cases of breast cancer are detectable is about
Solutions
Expert Solution
p = 0.85
n = 13
P(all the 13 cases of breast cancer are detectable) = 0.8513 = 0.1209 (ans)

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. Compute the i)
sensitivity, ii) specificity, iii) positive predictive value, and
iv) negative predictive value. c. Make a statement about each of
the computations d. If...

CANCER CASE STUDY:
A routine mammogram showed a large mass in the right breast of Mrs.
H., age 42. A biopsy confirmed the presence of a malignant tumor.
Mrs. H. was concerned because her mother and aunt had breast
cancer. No metastases were detected at this time. A mastectomy was
performed and a number of axillary and mediastinal nodes were
removed. Pathologic examination showed several nodes from each area
contained malignant cells. Given this case was considered to be
stage...

Your patient’s mammogram is positive for breast cancer which has
a fairly low rate in your state of 1 case per 1,000 women annually.
You know from the literature that the mammogram test has a
sensitivity of around 92% and a specificity of 95% depending on the
study. What do you tell your patient when she asks do I have breast
cancer.
Show your work in both a contingency table and using the
shortcut Bayes Theorem.

Breast cancer specialists use BI-RADS scores (a whole number
from 1 to 6) to classify mammogram findings. A score of 1 indicates
a negative finding, while 6 indicates clear malignancy. The data
set mammography.csv contains observations on 950 women who had
mammograms and subsequent biopsies. Of interest is whether mean
BIRADS score is, in fact, higher for women who have malignancies.
For each woman, we have a BI-RADS score and the result of her
biopsy (benign or malignant) respectively as...

A recent study of seat belt use found that for a random sample
of 117 female Hispanic drivers in Boston; 68 were wearing seat
belts. Is this sufficient evidence to claim that the proportion of
all female Hispanic drivers in Boston who wear seat belts is
greater than 50%. Use a significance level of 5%.

Imaging Scenario
A patient who has a family history of breast cancer and has
found a lump in her breast arrives at a mammography imaging center.
She is frightened and emotional. She has read a great deal of
literature about breast cancer and know it is one of the leading
cause of death in women. Her mother and sister died painful deaths
at early ages, and she is frantic to learn her diagnosis. The
breast imaging center has been informed...

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...

Patients with breast cancer sometimes die for other reasons. In
a Nurses’ Health study, women with breast cancer were followed
for 10 years and 2.5% had incidence of heart disease. Suppose the
baseline 10-year incidence rate of heart disease in the general
population is 2%. Assume a study is to be undertaken tracking
women with breast cancer to see if there is a difference in the
heart disease rate from the general population.
Assuming the true heart disease incidence rate...

Suppose you conduct a case-control study of endometrial cancer,
with 120 cases and 120 unmatched controls. According to
medical records (which we will assume are correct), 100 of the
cases and 60 of the controls have used postmenopausal
estrogens.
Suppose another researcher is not careful about reviewing the
medical records, and overlooks the postmenopausal estrogen use for
20% of the exposed subjects in the above study, so that 20% of the
exposed cases are counted as unexposed and 20% of the...

From a random sample of 85 teens, it is found that on average
they spend 31.8 hours each week online with a standard deviation of
5.91 hours. What is the 90% confidence interval for the amount of
time they spend online each week?
