In a particular region, 6% of the population is thought to have a certain disease. A standard diagnostic test has been found to correctly identify 91% of the people who have the disease. However, the test also incorrectly diagnoses 8% of those who do not have the disease as having the disease (in other words, the person does not have the disease but the test tells them that they do). A randomly selected person in the region is tested for the disease. (a) What is the probability the test comes back positive

Answers

Answer 1

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;

[tex]\begin{array}{cccc}&Deseased&Non-diseased& Diseased + Non-diseased\\Test \ +ve&60.06&80& 140.06\\Test \ -ve&4.8&855.4&\end{array}[/tex]

The positive predictive value = Diseased +ve/(Diseased +ve + Non-diseased  +ve)

[tex]The \ positive \ predictive \ value = \dfrac{Diseased +ve}{Diseased +ve + Non-diseased +ve} \times 100[/tex]

Therefore;

The positive predictive value = 60.06/(60.06 + 140.06) × 100 ≈ 30.012%

Answer:

tangent x = 12/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

Once again these are the Trigonometric Ratios

SOH CAH TOA

Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)

Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)

Tan = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)

And for this one we are asked to find the tangent of angle x

Remember tangent = opposite over adjacent

opposite - the side length that is opposite of the angle (so the angle will be facing that side length)

adjacent - the side length that is not the opposite nor the hypotenuse

The opposite of angle x is 12 and the adjacent of angle x is 9

so tangent x = 12/9

Cierra is buying juice. She needs 5 liters. A half liter juice cost $2.86. A 250​-milliliter container of juice costs ​$1.05. What should Cierra buy so she gets 5 liters at the lowest price?

Answers

Answer: 250 mL Juice container

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Half liter juice costs $2.86 i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\ L\rightarrow\$2.86\\\\1\ L\rightarrow\dfrac{2.86}{\frac{1}{2}}=\$5.72\\\\5\ L\rightarrow\$28.6[/tex]

A 250 mL juice costs $1.05 i.e.

[tex]250\ mL=0.25\ L\rightarrow \$1.05\\\\1\ L\rightarrow \dfrac{1.05}{0.25}=\$4.2\\\\\Rightarrow 5\ L\rightarrow \$21[/tex]

The cost of 250 mL Juice packet is low for 5 L quantity, therefore, Cierra must buy 250 mL Juice container

Part A is already answered

Part B asks: What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answers

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

20^2 + 48^2 = c^2

400 +2304=c^2

2704=c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(2704) = sqrt(c^2)

52 = c

Answer:

[tex]hypotenuse^{2}[/tex] = [tex]altitude^{2}[/tex] + [tex]base^{2}[/tex]

[tex]hyp^{2}[/tex] = [tex]48^{2}[/tex] + [tex]20^{2}[/tex]

       = 2304 + 400

       = 2704

∴[tex]hyp[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{2704}[/tex]

       = 52

[tex] = \frac{1}{4} \pi {r}^{2} \\ = \frac{1}{4} \pi( {3.5}^{2} ) \\ = 3 \frac{1}{16} \pi {mm}^{2} [/tex]

if x=10, write an expression in terms of x for the number 5,364

Answers

Answer:

(5,354 + x)

or

536.4*x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x = 10.

Now we want to write an expression (in terms of x) for the number 5,364.

This could be really trivial, remember that x = 10.

Then:  (x - 10) = 0

And if we add zero to a number, the result is the same number, then if we add this to 5,364 the number does not change.

5,364 = 5,364 + (x - 10) = 5,364 + x - 10

5,364 = 5,354 + x

So (5,354 + x) is a expression for the number 5,364 in terms of x.

Of course, this is a really simple example, we could do a more complex case if we know that:

x/10 = 1

And the product between any real number and 1 is the same number.

Then:

(5,364)*(x/10) = 5,364

(5,364/10)*x = 5,364

536.4*x = 5,364

So we just found another expression for the number 5,364 in terms of x.
