Answer:

0.01260

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

probability of population with cancer (positive) = 0.21

probability of population with cancer (negative) = 0.79

probability of population with cancer absent (positive)  = 0.06

probability of population with cancer absent (negative) = 0.94

probility for positive test = P( cancer (positive)) × P ( cancer absent (positive)

= [tex]= (0.21) * (0.06)\\= 0.01260[/tex]
