!.) Compute the predictive value positive and predictive value negative. 

Breast cancer is considered largely a hormonal disease. An important hormone in breast-cancer
research is estradiol. The data in the table below on serum-estradiol levels were obtained from 213
breast-cancer cases and 432 age-matched controls. All women were age 50-59 years.
