a. 0.01
b. 0.03
c. 0.04
d. 0.07
e. 0.97

B. 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

A blood test to detect prostate cancer in men gives a positive result 96% of the time if a person has prostate cancer.

This means the test detects 96% times correctly that the person has cancer. In the remaining i.e 4% times it detects incorrectly, which means the person has not cancer but he is detected that he has cancer. This is the case of false negative.

It is 97% accurate for people who do not have the disease.

This means the test detects 97% times correctly that the person doesn't have cancer. In the remaining i.e 3% times it detects incorrectly, which means the person has cancer but he is not detected that he has cancer. This is the case of false positive.

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
