Suppose that the probability that a woman has breast cancer is 0.8 percent. If a woman has breast cancer, the probability is 90 percent that she will have a positive mammogram. If a woman does not have breast cancer, the probability is 7 percent that she will still have a positive mammogram. A, Define the event, C: "A woman has cancer" What is P(C)? B, Define the event, T: "A person has a positive mammogram" What is P(T|C)?
