Answer to Question 1

P(x < 156) = P(z < -2) = 0.5000  0.4772 = 0.0228 or 2.28

Answer to Question 2

P(x > 210) = P(z > 2.5) = 0.5000  0.4938 = 0.0062, or 0.62

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
