Consider the following screening test for cancer applied to 100,000 people of whom 100 have cancer. Each test costs $6.50, picks up 75% of cancer cases., and additionally, 12% of the time, falsely diagnoses cancer. Detection of cancer (rightly or wrongly) leads to a further exact diagnostic test that costs $10O. Correct early detection of cancer by the test is valued at $10,000 What is the marginal benefit of doing the test? What are the marginal costs of doing the test Is the first test worthwhile? Why or why not
