Question: Suppose that the probability that a cell is cancerous is AN/10. Consider the following data for cell age A and the number of toxic molecules

Suppose that the probability that a cell is cancerous is AN/10.
Consider the following data for cell age A and the number of toxic molecules N inside.
Suppose that the probability that a cell is cancerous is

Suppose that the probability that a cell is cancerous depends on both the age and the number of toxic molecules. Use the law of total probability to find the overall probability that a cell is cancerous, and show how it is really a version of the sum rule for expectations.
