A screening test for a newly discovered disease was evaluated in order to determine how well the test performs. Investigators ad

ministered the test to a random sample of 900 people. Of the participants with the disease, 150 tested positive and 60 tested negative. Of those without the disease, 50 tested positive. What is the sensitivity of the screening test?
A. 7.14%
B. 71.43%
C. 7.50%
D. 75.00%
E. None of the above

Answer:

B. 71.43%

Step-by-step explanation:

The sensitivity is the probability that a test will indicate 'disease' among those with the disease, that is, the test has a positive results:

In this problem, we have that:

150 people with the disease tested positive and 60 tested negative. So the sensitivity is:

$S = 100*\frac{150}{210} = 71.43$

The correct answer is:

B. 71.43%

Mean and Range

To do this, we simply calculate the mean and the range of each row.

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$ ---- mean

Where:

$n = 4$ ---- number of rows

$R = Highest - Lowest$ --- range

So, we have:

Sample 1

$\bar x_1 = \frac{1027+ 994 +977 +994 }{4}$

$\bar x_1 = 998$

$R_1 = 1027- 994$

$R_1 = 33$

Sample 2

$\bar x_2 = \frac{975 +1013 +999 +1017}{4}$

$\bar x_2 = 1001$

$R_2 = 1017 - 975$

$R_2 = 42$

Sample 3

$\bar x_3 = \frac{988 +1016 +974 +997}{4}$

$\bar x_3 = 993.75$

$R_3 = 1016-974$

$R_3 = 42$

Sample 4

$\bar x_4 = \frac{998 +1024 +1006 +1010}{4}$

$\bar x_4 = 1009.5$

$R_4 = 1024 -998$

$R_4 = 26$

Sample 5

$\bar x_5 = \frac{990 +1012 +990 +1000}{4}$

$\bar x_5 = 998$

$R_5 = 1012 -990$

$R_5 = 22$

Sample 6

$\bar x_6= \frac{1016 + 998 +1001 +1030}{4}$

$\bar x_6= 1011.25$

$R_6= 1030-998$

$R_6= 32$

Sample 7

$\bar x_7 = \frac{1000 +983 +979 +971}{4}$

$\bar x_7 = 983.25$

$R_7 = 1000-971$

$R_7 = 29$

Sample 8

$\bar x_8 = \frac{973 +982 +975 +1030}{4}$

$\bar x_8 = 990$

$R_8 = 1030-973$

$R_8 = 57$

Sample 9

$\bar x_9 = \frac{992 +1028 +991 +998}{4}$

$\bar x_9 = 1002.25$

$R_9 = 1028 -991$

$R_9 = 37$

Sample 10

$\bar x_{10} = \frac{997 +1026 +972 +1021}{4}$

$\bar x_{10} = 1004$

$R_{10} = 1026 -972$

$R_{10} = 54$

Sample 11

$\bar x_{11} = \frac{990 +1021 +1028 +992}{4}$

$\bar x_{11} = 1007.75$

$R_{11} = 1028 -990$

$R_{11} = 38$

Sample 12

$\bar x_{12} = \frac{1021 +998 +996 +970}{4}$

$\bar x_{12} = 996.25$

$R_{12} = 1021 -970$

$R_{12} = 51$

Sample 13

$\bar x_{13} = \frac{1027 +993 +996 +996}{4}$

$\bar x_{13} = 1003$

$R_{13} =1027 -993$

$R_{13} =34$

Sample 14

$\bar x_{14} = \frac{1022 +981 +1014 +983}{4}$

$\bar x_{14} = 1000$

$R_{14} = 1022 -981$

$R_{14} = 41$

Sample 15

$\bar x_{15} = \frac{977 +993 +986 +983}{4}$

$\bar x_{15} = 984.75$

$R_{15} = 993-977$

$R_{15} = 16$

A certain library assesses fines for overdue books as follows. On the first day that a book is overdue, the total fine is $0.10.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Option B. $0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

First day fine = $0.10

Second day fine (doubled or $0.30 which is lesser)

= $0.10 + $0.10 [$0.10 is lesser than $0.30]

= $0.20

Third day fine = $0.20 + $0.20 [ $0.20 is lesser than $0.30]

= $0.40

Fourth day fine = $0.40 + $0.30 = $0.70

[$0.30 is cheaper than doubling the amount $0.40 + $0.40]

Therefore, the total fine for a book on the fourth day is $0.70
