Arecent survey by the cancer society has shown that the probability that someone is a smoker is p(s)=0.29. they have also determined that the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that they are a smoker is p(lc|s)=0.552. what is the probability (rounded to the nearest hundredth) that a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer p(s∩lc) ?

0.53

0.04

0.14

0.16

The correct answer option is P (S∩LC) = 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that the probability if someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29 and the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that they are also smoker is P(LC|S)=0.552.

So using the above information, we are to find the probability hat a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer P(S∩LC).

P (LC|S) = P (S∩LC) / P (S)

Substituting the given values to get:

0.552 = P(S∩LC) / 0.29

P (S∩LC) = 0.552 × 0.29 = 0.16
