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

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

predictive value of a positive test = 18.18%

predictive value of a negative test = 94.03%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensitivity = 60% = 0.6

Specificity = 70% = 0.7

Let True Positive = TP

True Negative = TN

False Negative = FN

$Sensitivity = \frac{TP}{TP + FN} \\0.6 = \frac{TP}{TP + FN} \\0.6TP + 0.6FN = TP\\0.4TP = 0.6FN\\TP = 1.5 FN$

$Specificity = \frac{TN}{TN + FP} \\0.7 = \frac{TN}{TN + FP} \\0.7TN + 0.7FP = TN\\0.7FP = 0.3 TN\\TN = 7/3 FP$

Prevalence = 10% = 0.1

Three hundred people are screened, $T_{total} = 300$

Total number of people having the disease, $T_{disease} = ?$

$Prevalence = \frac{T_{disease} }{T_{total} } \\0.1 = \frac{T_{disease} }{300 }\\T_{disease} = 30$

$T_{disease} = TP + FN\\30 = TP + FN$

But TP = 1.5 FN

30 = 1.5 FN + FN

30 = 2.5 FN

FN = 30/2.5

FN = 12

TP = 1.5 FN = 1.5 * 12

TP = 18

$FP + TN = T_{total} - T_{disease} \\FP + TN = 300 - 30\\FP + TN = 270\\FP + \frac{7}{3} FP = 270\\\frac{10}{3} FP = 270\\FP = 27 * 3\\FP = 81$

81 + TN = 270

TN = 189

To calculate the Predictive value of positive test (PPT)

$PPT = \frac{TP}{TP + FP} * 100\\PPT = \frac{18}{18+81} * 100\\PPT = \frac{18}{99} * 100\\PPT = 18.18 \%$

To calculate the Predictive value of negative test (PNT)

$PPT = \frac{TN}{FN + TN} * 100\\PPT = \frac{189}{189+12} * 100\\PPT = \frac{189}{201} * 100\\PPT = 94.03 \%$

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

a) The pilot is at the 72th percentile.

b) 19.13% of pilots are unable to fly.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

$\mu = 72.6, \sigma = 2.7$ .

Item a:

The percentile is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 74.2</u>, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{74.2 - 72.6}{2.7}$

Z = 0.59

Z = 0.59 has a p-value of 0.7224.

72th percentile.

Item b:

The proportion that is able to fly is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 78 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 70</u>, hence:

X = 78:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{78 - 72.6}{2.7}$

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

X = 70:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{70 - 72.6}{2.7}$

Z = -0.96

Z = -0.96 has a p-value of 0.1685.

0.9772 - 0.1685 = 0.8087 = 80.87%.

Hence the percentage that is unable to fly is:

100 - 80.87 = 19.13%.

A store is giving away a $10 dollar coupon to every 7th person to enter the store and a $25 coupon to every 18th person to enter

muminat

A store is giving away a $10 dollar coupon to every 7th person to enter the store and a $25 coupon to every 18th person to enter the store.

To find the first person to get both coupons, you have to find the LCM of 7 and 18. First list the multiples of each number.

7 - 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105, 112, 119, 126, 133

18 - 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144

The common multiples are bold. The <u>126th person</u> will be the first to get both coupons.

He transformation function is (x, y) --> (x + 4, y - 2). The starting point is point A at (-5, 6). Step 1: A: (-5, 6) x: , y:

alex41 [277]

Given:

Rule of transformation is $(x,y)\to (x+4,y-2)$ .

Point = (-5,6)

To find:

The missing values in the given steps of transformation.

Solution:

Step 1: A: (-5, 6).

$x:-5,y:6$

Step 2: Substitute x and y into $(x+4,y-2):$

$(-5+4,6-2)=(-1,4)$

Step 3: Do the math:

Point A' is at (-1 ,4 ).

Therefore, the coordinates of the point (-5,6) after the transformation are (-1,4).
