A model response might look like this: In a certain region in the country, 12% of women are diagnosed with Breast Cancer. A mammogram at the region's hospital correctly diagnoses a woman with Breast Cancer about 85% of the time. This mammography produces a false positive about 5% of the time. What is the probability that a woman that had a negative mammogram has Breast Cancer?
