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

The difference quotient of the function that has been presented to us will turn out to be 5.

<h3>How can I calculate the quotient of differences?</h3>

In this step, we wish to determine the difference quotient for the function that was supplied.

To begin, keep in mind that the difference quotient may be calculated by:

Lim h->0 \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

Now, for the purpose of the function, we need this:

Then we will have:

$$\begin{aligned}&\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{j(x+h)-j(x)}{h} \\&\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{5 *(x+h)-3-5 * x+3}{h} \\&\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{5 x+5 h-3-5 x+3}{h} \\&\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{5 h}{h}=5\end{aligned}$$

j(x) = 5x - 3

Then the following will be true:

Therefore, 5 is the value of the difference quotient for j(x) is %

If PQR is an equilateral triangle, PQ=18x+1, QR=24x-17, and PR=15x+10, find x and the measure of each side.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer

QR= PQ= PR

18x+1= 24x-17

18x-24x= -17-1

-6x= -18

x= 3

QR= 24(3)-17= 55

PQ= 18(3)+1= 55

PR= 15(3)+10=55
