There is a test available to screen for cancer. Applied to people who do not have cancer, a test in one clinic has about a 0.6% false-positive rate; that is, the rate of falsely indicating that cancer is present. If a clinic tests 100 people who are free of cancer, what is the probability that at least one false-positive will occur? Assume test results are independent for different individuals.
