A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Three hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%.

Calculate the following values:

The predictive value of a positive test

The predictive value of a negative test

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

predictive value of a positive test = 18.18%

predictive value of a negative test = 94.03%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensitivity = 60% = 0.6

Specificity = 70% = 0.7

Let True Positive = TP

True Negative = TN

False Negative = FN

[tex]Sensitivity = \frac{TP}{TP + FN} \\0.6 = \frac{TP}{TP + FN} \\0.6TP + 0.6FN = TP\\0.4TP = 0.6FN\\TP = 1.5 FN[/tex]

[tex]Specificity = \frac{TN}{TN + FP} \\0.7 = \frac{TN}{TN + FP} \\0.7TN + 0.7FP = TN\\0.7FP = 0.3 TN\\TN = 7/3 FP[/tex]

Prevalence = 10% = 0.1

Three hundred people are screened, [tex]T_{total} = 300[/tex]

Total number of people having the disease, [tex]T_{disease} = ?[/tex]

[tex]Prevalence = \frac{T_{disease} }{T_{total} } \\0.1 = \frac{T_{disease} }{300 }\\T_{disease} = 30[/tex]

[tex]T_{disease} = TP + FN\\30 = TP + FN[/tex]

But TP = 1.5 FN

30 = 1.5 FN + FN

30 = 2.5 FN

FN = 30/2.5

FN = 12

TP = 1.5 FN = 1.5 * 12

TP = 18

[tex]FP + TN = T_{total} - T_{disease} \\FP + TN = 300 - 30\\FP + TN = 270\\FP + \frac{7}{3} FP = 270\\\frac{10}{3} FP = 270\\FP = 27 * 3\\FP = 81[/tex]

81 + TN = 270

TN = 189

To calculate the Predictive value of positive test (PPT)

[tex]PPT = \frac{TP}{TP + FP} * 100\\PPT = \frac{18}{18+81} * 100\\PPT = \frac{18}{99} * 100\\PPT = 18.18 \%[/tex]

To calculate the Predictive value of negative test (PNT)

[tex]PPT = \frac{TN}{FN + TN} * 100\\PPT = \frac{189}{189+12} * 100\\PPT = \frac{189}{201} * 100\\PPT = 94.03 \%[/tex]

A crime is committed by one of two suspects, A and B. Initially, there is equal evidence against both of the suspects. After further investigation, it is determined that the guilty party has a blood type found in only 10% of the population at large. Suspect A does have this blood type; the blood type of Suspect B is unknown.
Define the following 3 events A, M and C.
A: "A is guilty" (Thus ° denotes "B is guilty')
M: "A’s blood type matches that of the guilty party"
C: "B's blood type matches that of the guilty party"
A. The police reported that suspect A is not a relative of suspect B. Is it reasonable to set P( MA)=P(C|A)=10%? Why?
B. Assume that P(MAC)=P(C|A)=10%. Given the information from the further investigation of the crime scene, what is the probability that A is the guilty party?
C. Assume that P( MA)=P(C/A)=10%. Given the information from the further investigation of the crime scene, what is the probability that B’s blood type matches that of the guilty party?

Answers

Answer:

a) MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) 10/11

c) 2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

A={A is the guilty party}

[tex]M_A[/tex] = {A blood type matches that of the guilty party}

C = {B is the guilty party}

[tex]M_C[/tex] = {B blood type matches that of the guilty party}

a) The chance is 10% because MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) the probability that A is the guilty party is given by [tex]P(A/M_A)[/tex]. Using bayes theorem:

[tex]P(A/M_A)=\frac{P(M_A/A)P(A)}{P(M_A/A)P(A)+P(M_C/C)P(C)} =\frac{1*1/2}{(1*1/2)+(1/10*1/2)} =\frac{10}{11}[/tex]

c) the probability that B’s blood type matches that of the guilty party is given as [tex]P(M_C/M_A)[/tex]. Using LOTS Therefore:

[tex]P(M_C/M_A)=P(M_C/M_A,A)P(A/M_A)+P(M_C/M_A,A)P(C/M_A)=\frac{1}{10}*\frac{10}{11} +1*\frac{1}{11} =\frac{2}{11}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Seema’s little sister is 2 years more than ¼ of Seema’s age, so you should subtract 2 from 5 to find ¼ of Seema’s age. If 3 is ¼ of Seema’s age, all you do is multiply it by 4 to get the original number. 3x4 is 12, so the final answer is that Seema is 12.

Answers

Answer:

The balance of the account is $64,190.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money after t years of continous compounding is given by the following equation:

In which P(0) is the initial deposit and r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

b) [tex] t_{\alpha}= -1.383[/tex]

c) [tex] t_{\alpha/2}= \pm 2.179[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we know that the degrees of freedom are:

[tex] df = 15[/tex]

And we want a right tailed test so then we need to find in the t distribution with degrees of freedom =15 a critical value who accumulate 0.05 of the area in the right and we got:

[tex] t_{\alpha}= 1.753[/tex]

Part b

For this case the significance is [tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex] the degrees of freedom are:

[tex] df = n-1= 10-1=9[/tex]

And since is a left tailed test the critical value for this case would be:

[tex] t_{\alpha}= -1.383[/tex]

Part c

For this case the significance is [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.025[/tex] the degrees of freedom are:

[tex] df = n-1= 13-1=12[/tex]

And since is a two tailed test the critical values for this case would be:

[tex] t_{\alpha/2}= \pm 2.179[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total socks:

7 + 8 + 10 + 5 = 30

P(blue) × P(patterned)

8/30 × 5/30

4/15 × 1/6

2/45

Answer:

2/45

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of socks is 7+8+10 +5

30

P(blue) = number of blue socks / total

           = 8/30 = 4/15

Then we replace it so we have the same number of socks

P(patterned) = number of patterned socks / total

                     = 5/30 = 1/6

P(blue, replace/patterned) = 4/15*1/6

                                             =2/45

What is the Area of a Circle?Area of a circle = πr²r = radius of the circle

Given:

Radius (r) of circle G = 3 units

Area of circle G = π(3²) = 28.26 sq. units.

Area of Maria's circle = 2(area of circle G)

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

Given that, a hiker is told to carry 2 cups of water for every 10 minutes spent walking.

Now, number of cups of water carry for 1 minute

= 2/10

= 0.2 cups

The number of cups of water carry for 60 minutes

= 0.2×60

= 12 cups

Therefore, the number of cups of water the hiker should carry is 12 cups.

In a new experimental teaching method, when students have questions in class, they send them to the instructor via a laptop computer. From time to time, the instructor pauses to read the questions and to provide the answers, without revealing the identities of the students who are asking the questions. This new method is supposed to eliminate the reluctance of students to ask questions for fear of revealing their lack of understanding in public. In a study of this new method, 69 male students and 73 female students participated. Treat these as if they were simple random samples. Of the male students, 38 said that they liked the new method better than the traditional one in which students raise their hands to ask questions. Of the female students, only 20 said they liked the new method better
(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of male and female students who like the new method better. Let p1, denote the proportion of male students who like the new method better and let p2 denote the proportion of female students who like the new method better.
(b) A 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of male and female students who like the new method better is __________.

Answers

Answer:

a)  (0.124, 0.435)

b) I am 95% confident that the proportion difference is between 0.124 and 0.435

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

For male students: number of male students ([tex]n_m[/tex]) = 69, number who liked the new method (x) = 38

For female students: number of female students ([tex]n_f[/tex]) = 73, number who liked the new method (x) = 20

a) The probability that a male student like the new method ([tex]P_1[/tex]) is given as:

[tex]P_1=\frac{38}{69} =0.55[/tex]

The probability that a female student like the new method ([tex]P_2[/tex]) is given as:

c = 95%, α = 1 -c = 0.05

[tex]z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }=1.96[/tex]

the difference between the proportions of male and female students who like the new method better = [tex]P_1-P_2[/tex] ± [tex]z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }\sqrt{\frac{P_1(1-P_1)}{n_m} +\frac{P_2(1-P_2)}{n_f}}[/tex] =  [tex]0.55-0.27[/tex] ± [tex]1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.55(1-0.55)}{69} +\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{73}}[/tex]  = (0.124, 0.435)

How to compute the above

If A is 100% more than B, it means that A is equal to B plus 100% of B. In other words, A is twice the value of B.

Therefore, the ratio of A to B is 1:2, indicating that A is twice as much as B.
