If Planck's constant were smaller than it is, would this affect the sizes of atoms?
 
  A) No, because atomic orbits do not exhibit quantum uncertainties.
  B) No, because the sizes of atoms are determined by the electromagnetic force acting between the nucleus and the electrons and this force is not affected by quantum phenomena.
  C) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be larger.
  D) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are because the electromagnetic force would be weaker.
  E) Yes, atoms would then be smaller than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be smaller.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. 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).
