Suppose there is a test for esophageal cancer that is 95% accurate both on those that do and those that do not have esophageal cancer. if 0.7 percent of the population has esophageal cancer, compute the probability that a person has this cancer, given that his or her test results indicates so.

It was already stated that the probability that the population may have esophageal cancer is 0.7 percent. However, the additional statement that the accuracy is 95% will affect the probability as follows:

Probability = (0.007)(0.95) = 0.00665 or 0.665%

So instead of 0.7%, the probability will decreased to 0.665% because of the accuracy.

No,The room is not a square shaped.This is because.Perimeter of the square shape would be length of any sides×4 as all sides will be the same in a square.Therefore, if the room ia a square, the 4 sides of room floor will be equal too.It is not a square shaped room beacause it sides are not equal for floor.We can determine by finding the sides;
diagonal is 18.75 so by using pythagoras theorem
diagonal^2 =l^2 + b^2
b^2=18.75^2 + 17^2
b =25.31 inches which is not the same as the length 17 inches.Therefore,the room is not a square
