The proportion of men in the population who have prostate cancer is 35 per 100,000. In 1980, a new test was developed to test for the presence of prostate cancer. The researchers who developed the test wanted to know the probability that a man who tested positive for prostate cancer actually had the disease. To find this probability, they took a SRS of 99 men known to have prostate cancer and a SRS of 150 men known not to have prostate cancer (after having a biopsy). Their test is a radioimmunoassay for prostate acid phosphatase (RIA-PAP). They found the following results (real data).3_28Let C = a randomly selected man has prostrate cancerUse 3 decimal places.(a) P(C | Pos) = (b) P(Cc | Pos) = (c) Can you use the table above to find P(C), the probability a randomly chosen male selected from the entire male population has prostate cancer?i. Yes, because it was an experiment. ii. No, because it was an observational study. iii. Yes, because the sample was taken randomly. iv. No, because the percentage of patients in the study with cancer is not representative of the percentage of people in the population with cancer.

The school track has eight lanes. each lane is 1.25 meters wide. the arc at each end of the track is 180. the distance of the home straight and the radii for the arcs in the 1st 4 lanes are given. s=85m r1=36.5m r2=37.75m r3=39m r4=40.25m part one: find the radii of lanes 5 through 8 of the track. show your work. part two: if max ran around lane one, how far did he run? show your work and explain your solution. part three: max wants to run a total of three laps around the track, choose two additional lanes (2-8) for him to run and find the distance around those two lanes. show your work and round to the hundredths. part 4: based on your lane choices in part three, what was the total distance max ran in the three laps around the track?
