A new screening test for West Nile Virus is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the

new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. 300 subjects are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. (Assume the true prevalence of West Nile Virus among clinic attendees is 10%.), The predictive value of a positive test is:

The predictive value of a positive test is is 0.43.

------------------

This question is solved using the concepts of sensitivity and specificity.

  • Sensitivity: It is the true negative rate, that is, the proportion of people without the disease that test negative.
  • Specificity: It is the true positive rate, that is, the proportion of people with the disease that test positive.

------------------

  • Sensitivity of 60% means that of the 100 - 10 = 90% of people without the disease, 60% test negative and 100 - 60 = 40% test positive.
  • Specificity of 70% means that of the 10% with the disease, 70% test positive.

------------------

The predictive value of a positive test is:

Probability of a positive test, which is 40% of 90% plus 70% of 10%, so:

p = 0.4\times0.9 + 0.7\times0.1 = 0.43

The predictive value of a positive test is is 0.43.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

It passes through the point (3,4). Given that the center of the circle is the point (0,0). We know that the equation of the circle is given by : (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 where (a,b) is the center and r is the radius.

Drupady [299]
You would add the 2 fractions. Since 2/16 equals 1/8 you could add 1/8 plus 4/8. That will give you 5/8. After all that you subtract 5/8 from 8/8, which will give you 3/8.

3. Find the value of x and explain your reasoning<br><br> (4x - 8)<br> (3x + 10) (11x + 2y)º
jolli1 [7]

The question is an illustration of angles on a straight line

The value of x is 25.4

<h3>How to determine the value of x</h3>

In the figure, angles 1 and 2 are angles on a straight line

Where:

  • Angle 1 = 4x - 8
  • Angle 2 = 3x + 10

So, we have:

4x - 8 + 3x + 10=180

Collect like terms

4x  + 3x =180 - 10 + 8

7x =178

Divide through by 7

x =25.4

Hence, the value of x is 25.4
