Pap smears are a test for abnormal cancerous and precancerous cells taken from the cervix

9.63      Pap smears are a test for abnormal cancerous and precancerous cells taken from the cervix.

(a)  State a pair of hypotheses and then explain the meaning of a false negative and a false positive.

(b)  Why is the null hypothesis “null”? (c) Who bears the cost of each type of error?

9.64      In a commercially available fingerprint scanner (e.g., for your home or office PC) false accep- tances are 1 in 25 million for high-end devices, with false rejection rates of around 3 percent.

(a)  Define Type I and II error. (b) Why do you suppose the false rejection rate is so high compared with the false acceptance rate? (Data are from Scientific American 288, no. 3 [March 2003], p. 98.)

9.65      When told that over a 10-year period a mammogram test has a false positive rate of 50 percent, Bob said, “That means that about half the women tested actually have no cancer.” Correct Bob’s mistaken interpretation.
