Anew test has been developed to detect a particular type of cancer. the test must be evaluated before it is put into use. a medical researcher selects a random sample of 1,000 adults and finds (by other means) that 4% have this type of cancer. each of the 1,000 adults is given the new test, and it is found that the test indicates cancer in 99% of those who have it and in 1% of those who do not.
a) based on these results, 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?

To find the extreme values of a function f(x.y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x,y)=xy
