Answer:

- Sensitivity = 62.7 %

- specificity = 74.9 %

- positive predictive value = 45.2 %

- negative predictive value = 85.9 %

- Accuracy of the test = 71.9 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in th question;

                                 CONDITION POSITIVE    CONDITION NEGATIVE   TOTAL

TEST POSITIVE                   42                                       51                            93

TEST NEGATIVE                 25                                      152                          177

TOTAL                                  67                                     203                         270

so; A=42, B=51, C=25 and D=152

Sensitivity = [A / ( A + C) ]×100= [42 /( 42 + 25)]×100 = [42 / 67] 100=

Sensitivity = 62.7 %

specificity = [D / ( D + B) ]×100= [152 /( 152 + 51)]×100 = [152 / 203] 100=

specificity = 74.9 %

positive predictive value = [A / ( A + B) ]×100 = [42 /( 42 + 51)]×100 =[42/93] 100

positive predictive value = 45.2 %

negative predictive value =  [D / ( D + C) ]×100 = [152 /( 152 + 25)]×100 =[152/177] 100

negative predictive value = 85.9 %

Accuracy of the test = [A + D / ( A+B+C+D)] =  [42 + 152 / ( 42+51+25+152)]

= [ 194 / 270 ]

Accuracy of the test = 71.9 %

1. Andre earns $4000 a month at his new job. In order to track his spending and saving, he created a monthly
QveST [7]

Answer:

If Andre plans on staying within his budget, he should choose Apartment 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apartment 1: $1100 rent + $250 utilities = $1350 Total Monthly

Apartment 2: $1350 rent + $100 utilities = $1450 Total Monthly

Andre can spend up to $1320 on rent & $320 on utilities, totaling at $1640. In this situation, Andre needs to save as much money as possible. Either on one of these apartments stay below the budget for monthly cost, but Apartment 2's rent goes $30 higher than his budget allows. In the end, this makes apartment 1 the best option for rent, utilities, and ultimate cost.

If Andre plans on staying within his budget, he should choose Apartment 1.
