Suppose that 100,000 men were screened for prostate cancer for the first time. Of these, 4,000 men had a positive result on the screening blood test; of those who tested positive, 800 had a biopsy indicating a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Among the remaining 96,000 men who screened negative, 100 developed prostate cancer within the following year and were assumed to be false negatives to the screen. a) set-up the two-by-two table for this data. (please provide an actual table) b) what is the prevalence of prostate cancer in this population? c) calculate and interpret the sensitivity of this screening test d) calculate and interpret the specificity of this screening test. e) Calculate and interpret the positive predictive value of this screening test.

Answers

Answer 1

An actual two-by-two table is a tabular representation containing two rows and two columns.

The columns consist of the tested True positive for prostate cancer and tested True Negative for prostate cancerThe rows consist of the predicted positive screening and predicted negative values

a)

Mathematically, the set-up of the two-by-two table for this data can be computed as:

Tested                  True Positive for cancer   True Negative    Total

Predicted Positive         800                            3200                 4000

Predicted Negative        100                            95900              96000

Total                                900                            99100              100000  

b)

The prevalence rate of prostate cancer in this population is:

[tex]\mathbf{ =\dfrac{900}{100000}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ =\dfrac{9}{1000}}[/tex]

= 9 per thousand.

c)

The calculation of the sensitivity of this screening is as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{TP}{TP+PN_1}}[/tex]

where;

TP = True positive for cancerPN₁ = Predicted Negative for true positive cancer

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{800}{800+100}}[/tex]

= 0.889

= 88.9%

The interpretation shows that 88.9% are correctly identified to be actual positive for prostate cancer.

d)

The calculation of the specificity  of this screening is as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{PN_2}{PN_2+TN}}[/tex]

where;

TN = True positive for cancerPN₂ = Predicted Negative for true negative cancer

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{95900}{95900+3200}}[/tex]

= 0.9677

= 96.77%

The interpretation shows that 96.7% of an actual negative is correctly identified as such.

e)

The positive predicted value of the screening test is computed as:

[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{TP}{TP + TN}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{800}{800 + 3200}}[/tex]

= 0.2

= 20%

The interpretation of the positive predicted value of this screening shows that 20% that are subjected to the diagnosis of positive prostate cancer truly have the disease.

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.

Answers

Answer:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.88}{2} = 0.06[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a p-value of [tex]1 - 0.06 = 0.94[/tex], so Z = 1.555.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 300.

This means that [tex]n = 300[/tex]

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample?

This is n for which M = 15. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15 = 1.555\frac{300}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15\sqrt{n} = 300*1.555[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 20*1.555[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (20*1.555)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 967.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Ryanair provides cheap flights in Europe but prides itself on their on-time record. Ryanair quotes a flight time of 2 hours, 5 minutes. Suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 2 hours and 2 hours, 20 minutes.

What is the expected flight time in minutes?

Answers

Answer:

The expected flight time is 2 hours 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 2\ hours[/tex]

[tex]b = 2\ hours\ 20\ mins[/tex]

Required

The expected flight time

To do this, we simply calculate the mean using:

[tex]Mean = \frac{a + b}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Mean = \frac{2\ hours + 2\ hours\ 20\ mins}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{4\ hours\ 20\ mins}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 2\ hours\ 10\ mins[/tex]

Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full. After he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full. How many gallons can abdul's tank hold

Answers

Answer:

Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full, and after he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full, to determine how many gallons can Abdul's tank hold the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.3333

7/9 = 0.7777

0.777 - 0.333 = 0.444

0.444 = 12

1 = X

12 / 0.444 = X

27 = X

Therefore, Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Answers

Answer:

25 cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

Given,

Two sides of a triangle:

a = 7cm

b = 24 cm

To find,

Third side:

c = ?

By Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

[where c is the longest side,hypotenuse]

Putting the value of a and b;

we get,

7² + 24² = c²

49 + 576 = c²

625 = c²

25² = c² (square root)

25 = c

c = 25

Therefore, the length of the third side will be equal to 25 cm.

Question:-

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Given,

> a= 7cm

> b= 24cm

To find?

Side c (third side)

Solution:-

Using Pythagoras theorem,

▶️ a² + b² = c

▶️ 7cm ² + 24cm² = c²

▶️ 49cm + 576cm = c²

▶️ 625cm = c²

▶️ 25² = c² (25×25 = 625)

▶️ c = 25

The value of c is 25 cm.

According to the problem , 100 is increased by 100%.

So, new number will be 100+100=200

Now 200 will decreased by 20%.

So, 20% of 200= 0.20*200= 40.

So, again the number has been changed into 200+40=240.

So, x=240

Step-by-step explanation:

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x/1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. When n is increased by 100%, its new value is ...

  n(1 +100%) = n(1 +1) = 2n

When this value is decreased by 20%, its new value is ...

  (2n)(1 -20%) = (2n)(0.8) = 1.6n

This value is x, so the number is ...

  1.6n = x

  n = x/1.6 . . . . . . . divide both sides by 1.6

The entrance ticket for a carnival costs $89.97, which includes a royal meal
that costs $10.85, 1 play station game, and 3 water rides (Each water ride
costs the same price). The cost of a water ride is twice as that of a play
station game. Find the cost of a water ride. Estimate to the nearest tenths.

Answers

Subtract the meal:

89.97- 10.85 = 79.12

Let the play station game = x

A water ride is twice that so a water ride is 2x

There is 3 water rides : 3 x 2x =6x

The PlayStation game and water rides = 79.12

6x + x = 79.12

Simplify:

7x = 79.12

Divide both sides by 7:

X = 11.30

The PlayStation game is 11.30

The water ride = 2 x 11.30 = 22.60

Find the square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]-8-6i[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i} * \frac{2-3 i}{2-3i}[/tex]

-104-78i /13

-8-6i

The square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​ is √(112-66i)/13.

The given expression is [tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i}[/tex].

What is the square root?

The square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring a number. The square of a number is the value that is obtained when we multiply the number by itself, while the square root of a number is obtained by finding a number that when squared gives the original number.

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 2-3i.

Now, [tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i}\times\frac{2-3i}{2-3i}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(2-36i)(2-3i)}{(2+3i)(2-3i)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(4-72i+6i-108i^2)}{4-9i^2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(4-66i+108)}{4+9}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(112-66i)}{13}[/tex]

Now square root is √(112-66i)/13

Therefore, the square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​ is √(112-66i)/13.
