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:

Answers

Answer 1

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:

[tex]p = 0.4\times0.9 + 0.7\times0.1 = 0.43[/tex]

The predictive value of a positive test is is 0.43.

Answers

Answer:

A. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range for a box and whiskers plot, is the value from the right side of the box minus the value of the left side of the box.

In this case at the far right side of the box it is at 130, at the far left side of the box it is at 100.

130-100=30

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{IQR = 30}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1 = 130 (Left hand edge of the box)

Q3 = 100 (Right Hand edge of the box)

Interquartile Range = Q3-Q1

IQR = 130-100

IQR = 30

A farmer has 6 buckets of blueberries and wants to sell them at a market stall. The farmer will charge $1.50 per pint. If each bucket can hold half a bushel of blueberries, how much will the farmer make in selling all of the blueberries?

Answers

Answer:

$96

Step-by-step explanation:

6(1/2) = 3 bushels of berries total

3(4) = 12 pecks of berries total

4(8) = 32 quarts of berries total

32(2) = 64 pints of berries total

64 x $1.50 = $96

Answer:

The farmer will make a total of $96 from selling 6 buckets of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total price is determined by multiplying the 12 pecks down into pints. Each pint sells for 1.50 and he has 64 pints of blueberries.

64 x $1.50 = $96

Explain how to perform a​ two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with known.

Answers

Answer:

The steps 1-7 have been explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps are;

1) We will verify that the population standard deviations are known and that the population is normally distributed which means the sample size must be a minimum of 30.

2) We will state the null and alternative hypothesis

3) We will determine the critical values from the relevant tables

4) From the critical values gotten, we will determine it's corresponding region where it can be rejected.

5)We will calculate the value of the test statistic from the formula;

z = [(x1' - x2') - (μ1 - μ2)]/√[((σ1)²/n1) + ((σ2)²/n2)]

6) If the value of the test statistic gotten from step 5 above falls in the region of rejection noted in step 4,then we will reject the null hypothesis

7) After rejection of the null hypothesis, we will now give a decision/conclusion on the claim.

The length of a picture is 14.25 inches shorter than twice the width period if the perimeter of the picture is 133.5 inches, find its dimensions

Answers

Answer: Dimension = 27 inches by 39.75 inches

Concept:

A perimeter is a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape.

Perimeter (rectangle) = 2 (l + w)

l = length

w = width

Solve:

l = 2w - 14.25

w = w

P = 133.5

Given equation

P = 2 (l + w)

Substitute values into the equation

133.5 = 2 (2w - 14.25 + w)

Combine like terms

133.5 = 2 (3w - 14.25)

Distributive property

133.5 = 6w - 28.5

Add 28.5 on both sides

133.5 + 28.5 = 6w - 28.5 + 28.5

162 = 6w

Divide 6 on both sides

162 / 6 = 6w / 6

w = 27 in

l = 2w - 14.25 = 2 (27) - 14.25 = 39.75 in

If you randomly select a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden," what is the probability that a vowel is randomly selected

Answers

Answer:

12/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Count all letters and all vowels then divide vowels by letters

The probability that a vowel is randomly selected in the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden", is 4/9.

What is the probability of an event in an experiment?

The probability of any event suppose A, in an experiment is given as:

P(A) = n/S,

where P(A) is the probability of event A, n is the number of favorable outcomes to event A in the experiment, and S is the total number of outcomes in the experiment.

How to solve the given question?

In the question, we are given an experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden".

We are asked to find the probability that the selected letter is a vowel.

Let the event of selecting a vowel from the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden" be A.

We can calculate the probability of event A by the formula:

P(A) = n/S,

where P(A) is the probability of event A, n is the number of favorable outcomes to event A in the experiment, and S is the total number of outcomes in the experiment.

The number of outcomes favorable to event A (n) = 12 (Number of vowels in the phrase)

The total number of outcomes in the experiment (S) = 27 (Number of letters in the phrase).

Now, we can find the probability of event A as:

P(A) = 12/27 = 4/9

∴ The probability that a vowel is randomly selected in the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden", is 4/9.

a Find the amount compounded annually on Rs 25,000 for 2 years if the rates of
interest for two years ore 10 % and 12 % respectively,​

Answers

Answer:

Amount = Rs. 30250 when Rate = 10%

Amount = Rs. 31360 when Rate = 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Principal, P = Rs.\ 25,000[/tex]

[tex]Time, t = 2\ years[/tex]

[tex]Rate; R_1 = 10\%[/tex]

[tex]Rate; R_2 = 12\%[/tex]

Number of times (n) = Annually

[tex]n = 1[/tex]

Required

Determine the Amount for both Rates

Amount (A) is calculated by:

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

When Rate = 10%, we have:

Substitute 25,000 for P; 2 for t; 1 for n and 10% for r

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{10\%}{1})^{1 * 2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{10\%}{1})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 10\%)^{2}[/tex]

Convert 10% to decimal

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 0.10)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1.10)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * 1.21[/tex]

[tex]A = 30250[/tex]

Hence;

Amount = Rs. 30250 when Rate = 10%

When Rate = 12%, we have:

Substitute 25,000 for P; 2 for t; 1 for n and 10% for r

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{12\%}{1})^{1 * 2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{12\%}{1})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 12\%)^{2}[/tex]

Convert 12% to decimal

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 0.12)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1.12)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * 1.2544[/tex]

[tex]A = 31360[/tex]

Hence;

Amount = Rs. 31360 when Rate = 12%

What is the volume of a square pyramid whose length of one side of its base is 9cm and whose height is 15cm. Show your work

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 405cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a pyramid is given by

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \times area \: of \: base \: \: \times height[/tex]

height = 15cm

From the question the pyramid is a square pyramid which means it's base is a square

Area of a square = l²

where l is the length of one side

l = 9cm

Area of square = 9² = 81cm²

So the volume of the pyramid is

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \times 81 \times 15[/tex]

[tex]V = 27 \times 15[/tex]

We have the final answer as

V = 405 cm³

Therefore the volume of the pyramid is

405cm³
