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;
The positive predictive value = Diseased +ve/(Diseased +ve + Non-diseased +ve)
Therefore;
The positive predictive value = 60.06/(60.06 + 140.06) × 100 ≈ 30.012%
Answer:
A. 26 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
You might recognize that this triangle is a 5-12-13 triangle scaled up by a factor of 2. If so, you know immediately, that the hypotenuse is 2×13 = 26 feet in length.
__
If you're not so lucky, you can write equations involving the lengths of the legs of the triangle. Let those be x and y, with x being the shorter leg. Then the Pythagorean relation tells you ...
x² + y² = (x+16)²
and the area relation tells you ...
120 = (1/2)xy
Using the second equation to write an expression for y, we have ...
y = 240/x
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
x² + (240/x)² = (x+16)²
(240/x)² = 32x +256 . . . . subtract x²
1800 = x²(x +8) . . . . . . . . .multiply by x²/32
This is a cubic with one real root. It can be solved several ways. I like "graphing" as it is quick and easy. Trial and error also works. The factors of 1800 include 10²·18, so it is clear that x=10 is the solution.
The hypotenuse length is x+16, so is 26 feet.
___
The attachment shows the graphical solution of the original two equations. This tells you the legs of the triangle are 10 and 24, so the hypotenuse will be 10+16 = 26. The 10-24-26 triangle is recognizable as a scaled version of the 5-12-13 triangle often used in math problems.
