Biology
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

specificity is an important criteria for screening and diagnostic instruments, the specificity of a test reflects the probability that the screening test will be negative among those who, in fact, do not have a disease.

A test that is 90% specific will identify 90% of patients who do not have the disease. Tests with a high specificity (a high true negative rate) are most useful when the result is positive. A highly specific test can be useful for ruling in patients who have a certain disease.

3 best methods of determining latitude
Anit [1.1K]
Latitude measures how far a point is north or south of the equator. Since the earth is round, distance from the equator is measured in angular degrees with the equator being 0 degrees and the northernmost point -- the North Pole -- being at 90 degrees. The southernmost point -- the South Pole -- is also at 90 degrees.<span>Latitude is measured in degrees north when in the northern hemisphere and degrees south when in the southern hemisphere.

Hope this helps. :)</span>
