A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new

test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Three hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. The predictive value of a positive test is:

Answer:

The predictive value of a positive test is 18.2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population screened is 300.

The true prevalence value of the Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10\% \Rightarrow 0.10.10% = 0.10.

The proportion that sensitivity is 60\% \Rightarrow 0.6060% = 0.60

The proportion of the specificity is 70\% \Rightarrow 0.70.70% = 0.70

Step 2 of 2

We have to calculate the probability value of the predictive value of positive test.

\begin{array}{c}\\\left( \begin{array}{l}\\{\rm{Positive Predictive }}\\\\{\rm{value}}\left( {PPV} \right)\\\end{array} \right) = \frac{{{\rm{Prevalence}} \times {\rm{Sensitivity}}}}{{\left( {{\rm{Prevalence}} \times {\rm{Sensitivity}}} \right) + \left( {{\rm{1 - Prevalence}} \times 1 - {\rm{Specificity}}} \right)}}\\\\ = \frac{{0.1 \times 0.60}}{{\left( {0.1 \times 0.60} \right) + \left( {1 - 0.1 \times 1 - 0.70} \right)}}\\\\ = \frac{{0.06}}{{0.33}}\\\\ = 0.181818\\\\ = 0.182{\rm{ }}\left( {{\rm{Round to 3 decimal place}}} \right)\\\end{array}  

(Positive Predictive  value, PPV) =

(Prevalence×Sensitivity)/Prevalence×Sensitivity +(1−Prevalence×1−Specificity)  

=   (0.1×0.60)/0.1×0.60  + (1−0.1×1−0.70) ​  

=    0.06 /0.33    

=   0.181818

(Positive Predictive  value, PPV) = 0.182 (3decimals)    

We have to convert the PPV into percentage,

\begin{array}{c}\\PPV = 0.182 \times 100\\\\ = 18.2\% \\\end{array}  

PPV=0.182×100

= 18.2% ​  

Therefore, the predictive positive value is 18.2%.

Answer:

9,951.04

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the area of the rectangle:

44x88=3,872

Then you add the area of the two semi circles:

A=1/2(pi)(r^2)

A= 3,039.52

Multiply the area above by 2 since there are two semi circles and they are the same size.

mollys basic cell phone plan charges $35.99 for service plus $0.2 per minute beyond the included 250 minutes in the plan. how mu
Finger [1]
$35.99 includes 250 'free' minutes. anything over that is $0.2 per minute. So if she used 440 total minutes that means 440 minus 250 free minutes = 190 minutes over. 190 minutes times $0.2/minute = $38 extra

Total = 35.99 + 38 = 73.99

This triangle is a multiple of one of the triples listed here. What is the hypotenuse?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

50 units

Step-by-step explanation:

you use Pythagorean-theorem  which means A^2+B^2 =C^2

It does not matter the order of A and B because it is adding. But C is the hypotenuse.

If we plug in the # this is what it looks like...

14^2 +48^2=C^2

        or

48^2+14^2=C^2

14*14= 196

48*48=2,304

then you add

196+2,304=C^2

2,500= C^2

and you can use a calculator for this part you do 2,500

with the 2,500 you use the sign as in the picture and it gives you...

50

which means 50*50 = 2,500
