A screening test for a newly discovered disease is being evaluated for its performance as a screening test. In order to determin

e the effectiveness of the new test, it was administered to 270 workers. A total of 42 individuals who had been diagnosed with the disease tested positive for it. Results showed a negative test for an additional 25 people with the disease. A total of 51 people without the disease tested positive.

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 %

Solving equations and Inequalities 1 ) -10p=2(p-12)
MArishka [77]
The answer is 2 = p
Explanation: Here the goal is to get the variable "p" by itself, so first your have to distribute 2 to (p-12) which gives you -10p = 2p-24. Then you add 10p on both sides so that the variable is on one side. Then you add 24 to both sides. After that you divide 12 from both sides, giving you 2 = P

-10P = 2(p-12)
-10p = 2p-24
+10p +10p
0 = 12p-24
+24 +24
24 = 12p
24÷12 = 12p÷12
2 = p

Find the nature of the root
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

1) Real and same.

2) Real and distinct

3) Real and distinct

4) Real and distinct

5) Real and distinct

6) Real and distinct

7) Real and distinct

8) Real and distinct

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is in the form of ax² + bx + c = 0, then Discriminant of the equation D = b² - 4ac, which governs the nature of roots the equation has.

If D > 0, then there will be two different real roots.

If D = 0, then two same and real roots.

If D < 0, then two distinct but imaginary roots.

Now, 1) x² + 6x + 9 = 0 has D = 6² - 4 × 9 × 1 = 0. So, there will be two same and real roots.

2) 5x² - x = 4x² + 2

⇒ x² - x - 2 = 0

It has D = (-1)² - 4 × 1 × (-2) = 9. Therefore, the roots will be two distinct and real.

3) \frac{2}{x} + \frac{3}{x} = x - 4

⇒ 5 = x² - 4x

⇒ x² - 4x - 5 = 0.

So, D = (-4)² - 4 × (1) × (- 5) = 36. So, the equation has two real and distinct rools.

4) x(x - 5) = 4(5 - x)

⇒ x² - x - 20 = 0

Hence, D = (-1)² - 4 × 1 × (-20) = 81

So, the roots will be real and distinct.

5) x² + 7x + 1 = 0 has D = 7² - 4 × 1 × 1 = 45

So, the roots will be real and distinct.

6) 2x² + 9x + 3 = 0, has D = 9² - 4 × 2 × 3 = 57.

Hence, the roots will be real and distinct.

7) 5x² - 6 = 13x

⇒ 5x² - 13x - 6 = 0

So, D = (-13)² - 4 × 5 × (-6) = 289

So, the roots will be real and distinct.

8) x² - x = 3(x + 7)

⇒ x² - 4x - 21 = 0

It has D = (-4)² - 4 × 1 × (-21) = 100

So, the roots will be real and distinct. (Answer)
