In a particular region, 6% of the population is thought to have a certain disease. A standard diagnostic test has been found to

correctly identify 91% of the people who have the disease. However, the test also incorrectly diagnoses 8% of those who do not have the disease as having the disease (in other words, the person does not have the disease but the test tells them that they do). A randomly selected person in the region is tested for the disease. (a) What is the probability the test comes back positive

Answer:

The positive predictive value ≈ 30.012%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The given percentage of the people in the region that have the disease, P(D) = 6% = 0.06

The percentage people correctly identified as having the disease by the standard diagnostic test = 91%

The percentage of people incorrectly identified as having the disease by the standard diagnostic test, P(T + |H) = 8%

Therefore, the sensitivity of the test, P(T + |D) = 0.91

The specificity of the test, P(T - |H) = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

Therefore, the probability that a person is healthy, P(H) = 1 - 0.06 = 0.94

Therefore, in a population of 1,000 people, 60 people have the disease, with a sensitivity of 91%, the test will correctly pic 0.91×66 = 60.06 people correctly with the disease and 0.91 × 940 = 855.4 people without the disease

The number of non-diseased that test positive by the test is 0.08 × 1000 = 80 people which are false positives

Therefore, the number of diseased diagnosed as negative is 0.08 × 60 = 4.8

Therefore, we have;

\begin{array}{cccc}&Deseased&Non-diseased& Diseased + Non-diseased\\Test  \ +ve&60.06&80& 140.06\\Test \ -ve&4.8&855.4&\end{array}

The positive predictive value = Diseased +ve/(Diseased +ve + Non-diseased  +ve)

The \ positive \  predictive  \ value = \dfrac{Diseased +ve}{Diseased +ve + Non-diseased  +ve} \times 100

Therefore;

The positive predictive value = 60.06/(60.06 + 140.06) × 100 ≈ 30.012%

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME ! Jerry wants to buy his grandpa's old car for $500.00. He works 10 hours a week
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Needs $500  Makes 7.50 and works 10 hours week.

7.50*10= $75.00 a week

500/75= 6.6 weeks or 6 weeks and 2/3 of a week. I'd round to 7 weeks.

75(x)=500   X= weeks needed.

75x=500 if you divide 500 by 75

x=20/3 or 6.6
