0.3% of a country has a certain disease. The test for the disease has a sensitivity of 92% (i.e., of those we know have the dise

ase, the test comes back positive 92% of the time.) It has a specificity of 96% (i.e., of those who do NOT have the disease, the test comes back negative 96% of the time.) Determine the ACCURACY of this test (round to 5 decimals) Remember, ACCURACY is correct values (i.e. true positives true negatives)

Answer:

0.95988 (Accuracy of the test )

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the accuracy of this test we have to list out the given values

Prevalence rate of the disease = 0.3% = 0.003

sensitivity rate of the disease = 92% = 0.92

specificity rate for the test = 96% = 0.96

The accuracy of the test can be found using this equation

Accuracy = sensitivity * prevalence + specificity ( 1 - prevalence )

                = 0.92 * 0.003 + 0.96 ( 1 - 0.003 )

                = 0.00276 + 0.95712

                = 0.95988

What is the value of q?
malfutka [58]
Triangles QST and RST are similar.  Therefore, the following is true:

 q       s
--- = ----   This results in 10q=rs.
 r      10

Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.
Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.  
            4      s
Also:  ---- = -----    which leads to s^2 = 40
            s      10

Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2

Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)

A family pass to the amusement park costs $54 Using the Distributive Property,write an expression that can be used to fine the c
ruslelena [56]
<span>The distributive property is: a(b + c) = ab + ac. In this expression, the example would be 8(54 + 0) = (8 x 54) + (8 x 0). The cost of eight family passes is therefore equal to 8 x 54. $432 is the answer.</span>

Solve the multi step literal equation: solve equation for A b^2A^2-3g=q
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A = ± \sqrt{\frac{q+3g}{b^2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

b²A² - 3g = q ( add 3g to both sides )

b²A² = q + 3g ( divide both sides by b² )

A² = \frac{q+3g}{b^2} ( take the square root of both sides )

A = ± \sqrt{\frac{q+3g}{b^2} }
