HELP!!!!! A blood test to detect prostate cancer in men gives a positive result 96% of the time if a person has prostate cancer, and it is 97% accurate for people who do not have the disease. What is the probability of getting a false positive result (that is, a person tests positive but does not actually have the ailment)?
