A Research Lab Creates a Novel Serologic Test to Identify

A research lab creates a novel serologic test to identify prostate cancer. To evaluate sensitivity and specificity characteristics, the novel test is compared to transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. The test results are reported to be negative in 95 percent of persons who do not have the condition. What is the likelihood of all eight test results being negative if the new assay is performed on eight blood samples collected from people without prostate cancer?

A) 0) 05 × 8
B) 0) 95 × 8
C) 0) 05⁸
D) 0) 95⁸
E) 1 - 0.05⁸
F) 1 - 0.95⁸
