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

Explain how you would convert a measurement given in ounces into pints
Greeley [361]
8 ounces = 1cup
2 cups = 1 pint
So, 16 ounces = 2 cups = 1pint
16 ounces = 1 pint

If you have 8 ounces, you would have half a pint.
If you have 20 ounces:
20 ounces/16 ounces= 5/4
So, you'd have 1 1/4 or 1.25 pints

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?<br> Need help..
satela [25.4K]
Using the tangent rule:
 Tangent(angle) = Opposite leg /  Adjacent leg

We will use the 23 degree angle to solve for x.

Tangent(23) = X / 6

x = 6 * tangent(23)

x = 2.5

Fourteen less than three fourths of a number is negative eight. Find the number
Lapatulllka [165]
The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:

3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
       +14   +14

3/4x=6.
*4/3   *4/3

x=8.
