medical tests. Task Compute the requested probabilities using the contingency table. A group of 7500 individuals take part in a

survey about a rare disease and medical test. The data for the group is given in the table below. A person listed as "Sick" has the disease, while someone listed as "Not Sick does not "Tested Positive means the test indicated the person was sick, and "Tested Negative" means the test indicated they were not sick. The test is believed to be around 99% accurate. Sick Not Sick Tested Positive 59 75 Tested Negative 1 7365 h One person at random is chosen from the group (3 pts) Find the probability the person is sick. b. (3 pts) Find the probability the test is positive given that the person is sick (3 pts) Find the probability the test is negative given that the person is not sick. d. (pts) Find the probability the person is sick given that the test is positive (3 pts) Find the probability the person is not sick given that the test is negative. f. (5 pts) When we say a test is 99% accurate, to what is that referring? Given vour calculations, should information other than a single test be considered when diagnosing a rare condition? If so, what other information might be considered? Criteria for Success​

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event

  • The probability that a person is sick is: 0.008
  • The probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick is 0.9833
  • The probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick is: 0.9899
  • The probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive is: 0.4403
  • The probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative is: 0.9998
  • A 99% accurate test is a correct test

<u />

<u>(a) Probability that a person is sick</u>

From the table, we have:

\mathbf{Sick = 59+1 = 60}

So, the probability that a person is sick is:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Sick}{Total}}

This gives

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{60}{7500}}

\mathbf{Pr = 0.008}

The probability that a person is sick is: 0.008

<u>(b) Probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick</u>

From the table, we have:

\mathbf{Positive\ and\ Sick=59}

So, the probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick is:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Positive\ and\ Sick}{Sick}}

This gives

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{59}{60}}

\mathbf{Pr = 0.9833}

The probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick is 0.9833

<u>(c) Probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick</u>

From the table, we have:

\mathbf{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick=7365}

\mathbf{Not\ Sick = 75 + 7365 = 7440}

So, the probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick is:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick}{Not\ Sick}}

This gives

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{7365}{7440}}

\mathbf{Pr = 0.9899}

The probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick is: 0.9899

<u>(d) Probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive</u>

From the table, we have:

\mathbf{Positive\ and\ Sick=59}

\mathbf{Positive=59 + 75 = 134}

So, the probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive is:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Positive\ and\ Sick}{Positive}}

This gives

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{59}{134}}

\mathbf{Pr = 0.4403}

The probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive is: 0.4403

<u>(e) Probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative</u>

From the table, we have:

\mathbf{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick=7365}

\mathbf{Negative = 1+ 7365 = 7366}

So, the probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative is:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick}{Negative}}

This gives

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{7365}{7366}}

\mathbf{Pr = 0.9998}

The probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative is: 0.9998

<u>(f) When a test is 99% accurate</u>

The accuracy of test is the measure of its sensitivity, prevalence and specificity.

So, when a test is said to be 99% accurate, it means that the test is correct, and the result is usable; irrespective of whether the result is positive or negative.

A cube-shaped water tank having 6 ft side lengths is being filled with water. The bottom is solid metal but the sides of the tan
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

0.033 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g = 32.2 ft/s2 and h be the maximum height that water can be filled before the sides shatter.

Pressure is distributed from 0 to maximum at the bottom like the following equation:

P = \rho gh

So the force generated by water pressure on the side of the tank is

F = PA = \rho ghs/2

where s = 6ft is the side length of the tank. This force cannot be larger than 200lb

\rho ghs/2 \leq 200

62.4*32.2*h*6/2 \leq 200

h \leq 0.033 ft

A grounds crew is marking out a circular logo at the center of a football field. The logo will
patriot [66]

Answer:

circumference of a circle formula is C=2*pi*r

Step-by-step explanation:

then  

141.3 = 2*pi * r

solve for r

141.3/ (2*pi) = r

22.48859 feet

diameter is  2*r

2*22.48859= 44.9771 feet

divide by 3 because there are 3 feet in one yard

44.9771/3= 14.99239 yds.  

it doesn't say to round off, but I would call this 15 yds.

Diameter is 15 yards   ± .008 yds  That's just about 1/4 of an inch

Redo Question 29 0/3 point Refer to rectangle LMNP shown below to answer the following questions: (a) What are the coordinates o
WARRIOR [948]

Find coordinate of points

Point P coordinates are (x,y) =

x is same that point L, y = 0 .

Then coordinates for P = (a,0)

Point M coordinates

x is same that point N, x=b

y is same that point L , y=c

Then coordinates for M = (b,c)

Can someone explain to me in words how to do this problem 3x+122=22x-11
inn [45]

When you have this type of problem, you need to combine the like-terms and isolate the variable.

3x + 122 = 22x - 11

Add 11 to both sides to get rid of it

3x + 122 + 11 = 22x - 11 + 11     (-11 + 11=0)

3x + 133 = 22x

Then you would bring the 3x to the other side, so subtract 3x from both sides

3x + 133 = 22x

-3x             -3x

133 = 22x - 3x

133 = 19x

Then divide both sides by 19 to isolate x

133/19 = 19x/19

133/19 = 7, so x = 7

Hope this helps!!
