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.

Y-6=4(x+5) what are the Y and X intercept
Misha Larkins [42]
Hello.

<span>Reorder the terms: -6 + y = 4(x + 5)

  Reorder the terms: -6 + y = 4(5 + x) -6 + y = (5 * 4 + x * 4) -6 + y = (20 + 4x)

  Solving -6 + y = 20 + 4x Solving for variable 'y'.

 Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

 Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + y = 20 + 6 + 4x

 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + y = 20 + 6 + 4x y = 20 + 6 + 4x

 Combine like terms: 20 + 6 = 26 y = 26 + 4x

 Simplifying y = 26 + 4x

nataly862011 [7]
Area=pi (radius^2) Plug in numbers. 206=3.14 (r^2) Divide both sides by 3.14 65.61=r^2 Then square root both sides. 8.1ft =r Then round to the nearest foot. r=8ft
