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 %

Answer:

81(x + 2y)(x - 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

81 {x}^{2}  - 324 {y}^{2}  \\  \\  =  {(9x)}^{2}  -  {(18y)}^{2}  \\  \\  = (9x + 18y)(9x - 18y) \\  \\  = 9(x + 2y) \times 9(x - 2y) \\  \\  = 81(x + 2y)(x - 2y)

For #1
city A's mean would be 10.5, then you would divide it by the number of numbers there is which is 5,So 10.5/5 is 2.1

city B's mean would be 11.6  then you would divide it by the number of numbers there is which is 5, So 11.6/5 is 2.32.

thats all I have don't know how to do #3 sorry
