Recent news articles have discussed the connection between a rare genetic mutation and breast cancer in women.

In the general population about 1 in 405 people would actually carry this BRCA1 genetic mutation. Hint: Construct a table as in your course materials. Use a population size of 40500 women.What is the likelihood that someone has the BRCA mutation, if they test positive? (Round your probability to the nearest tenth of a percent!)
