A serological test is being devised to detect a hypothetical chronic disease. 500 individuals were referred to a laboratory for

testing. 300 diseased persons were among the 500. A serological test yielded 250 positives, of which 90% were true positives. Calculate the predictive value positive of the test.

Answer: the predictive value positive of the test is 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

                                              Predicted

                                             Diesease                No-Diesease                Tt

Actual              Diesease           225                           75                         300

No-Diesease         25                175                            200

                                                  250                           250                       500

so finding the predictive value positive of the test,

predictive negative value = (175 / (75+175) )

= 175 / 250

= 0.7

Therefore the predictive value positive of the test is 0.7

0.1 (0.5 + 6) = 2<br> I thank you a million who ever helps me
Damm [24]

Answer:

m = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

0.1(0.5m + 6) = 2

Reorder the terms:

0.1(6 + 0.5m) = 2

(6 * 0.1 + 0.5m * 0.1) = 2

(0.6 + 0.05m) = 2

Solving

0.6 + 0.05m = 2

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation.

0.6 + -0.6 + 0.05m = 2 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0

0.0 + 0.05m = 2 + -0.6

0.05m = 2 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 2 + -0.6 = 1.4

0.05m = 1.4

Divide each side by '0.05'.

m = 28

Simplifying

m = 28

Can someone please help me ASAP​
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x^2 + 5n = 4mx

=> x^2 - 4mx + 5n = 0

D=0 (since one root then roots are equal)

b^2-4ac = 0

(-4m)^2 - 4(1)(5n) = 0

16m^2 - 20n = 0

16m^2 = 20n

8m^2 = 10n

4m^2 = 5n

hope it helps.......

What is the angle of B. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth​
Mila [183]

Answer:

B = 53.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the tan function

tan B = opposite side/ adjacent side

tan B = 4/3

Take the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 (tan B) = tan^-1 (4/3)

B = 53.13010235

To the nearest hundredth

B = 53.13

Data:
Read pages = 36
Total pages = 180
<span>The ratio of pages read = ?

Solving:
</span>The\:ratio\:of\:pages\:read =  \frac{read\:pages}{total\:pages}
The\:ratio\:of\:pages\:read = \frac{36}{180}  \frac{\div36}{\div36} \to \boxed{\boxed{The\:ratio\:of\:pages\:read = \frac{1}{5}}}<span>
