A medical researcher selects a random sample of 2,000 adults and finds (by other means) that 4% have this type of cancer. Each of the 2,000 adults is given the test, and it is found that the test indicates cancer in 96% of those who have it and in 2% of those who do not. a) What is the probability of a randomly chosen person having cancer given that the test indicates cancer? b)What is the probability of a person having cancer given that the test does not indicate cancer
