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.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of $2750.
What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $205 per hour?

-Whats the First mechanic: $ -----per hour

-Whats the Second mechanic: $ ---- per hour ​

Answers

I answer this question before this is the solution just change the total of $2750:

Two mechanics worked on a car, The first mechanic worked for 20 hours and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours together they charged a total of $1150.

Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y

* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)

mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1

and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2

together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.

20x + 5y = 1150

the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.

x + y = 95

which means
x = 95 - y

plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.

20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150

solve for y

1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr

Now use this to solve for x

x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr

mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr

After a discount of 25%, the sale price of a game system is $149.25. what is the original price?

Answers

Answer:111.94

Step-by-step explanation:

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

25% = 25/100 = 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25.

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.

New value =

149.25 - Percentage decrease =

149.25 - (25% × 149.25) =

149.25 - 25% × 149.25 =

(1 - 25%) × 149.25 =

(100% - 25%) × 149.25 =

75% × 149.25 =

75 ÷ 100 × 149.25 =

A group of students organized a car wash to raise money for a local charity. The students charged $9.99 for each car they watched.In 3.5 hours they washed 14 cars.at that rate how much money could they earn in 8 hours?

Answers

Answer:

First you would divide 12 cars by 3 hours to see how many cars get washed per hour

Then you know that 4 cars get washed in one hour so you multiply it by $5.00 because you want to see how much money they earn in one hour

After you know they earn $20.00 per hour you multiply that by 8 because you want to see how much money they earn in eight hours

So your final answer is $160 for washing cars in 8 hours

3. 4 , 24 , 144, 864


5. 3 , -12 , 48 , -192

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

if it is a geometric sequence, then

sn = sn-1 × r

with r being the common ratio.

1.

s2 = s1 × r

20 = -40 × r

r = 20/-40 = -1/2

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

-100 = 20 × -1/2 = -10

this is wrong, so, it is not geometric.

2.

s2 = s1 × r

20 = 4 × r

r = 20/4 = 5

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

100 = 20 × 5 = 100

s4 = s3 × r

500 = 100 × 5 = 500

this is all correct, so, it is geometric.

sn = sn-1 × 5

sn = s1 × 5^(n-1) = 4 × 5^(n-1)

3.

s2 = s1 × r

24 = 4 × r

r = 24/4 = 6

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

144 = 24 × 6 = 144

s4 = s3 × r

864 = 144 × 6 = 864

this is all correct, so, it is geometric.

sn = sn-1 × 6

sn = s1 × 6^(n-1) = 4 × 6^(n-1)

5.

s2 = s1 × r

-12 = 3 × r

r = -12/3 = -4

but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.

s3 = s2 × r

48 = -12 × -4 = 48

s4 = s3 × r

-192 = 48 × -4 = -192

this is all correct, so, it is geometric.

sn = sn-1 × -4

sn = s1 × (-4)^(n-1) = 3 × (-4)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly one half(1/2) represents 0.50 as a decimal and 1 would be 1.00

This is like saying finding Fractions that give you percentages between 50% and 100%

for example:

you could simplify 52/100 and get 31/50

31/50 as a decimal would be 0.52  and 0.52 falls between(0.50 and 1.00) 1/2 and 1

example 2: 89/100= 0.9 (same as0.90) and [90/100] is same as 9/10 = 0.9

0.90 or 0.9 (zero point nine) is not the same as 0.09(zero point zero nine

If you are using a casio calculator, you can simplify the fraction by putting in your numerator then pressing |a b/c| button then enter the denominator, then the calculator should simplify the fraction, if the fraction remains the same, this means that it cant be further simplified.if your calculator has

| a b/c| then you can also use it.

or use an online calculator or simplify if you wish

To find the decimal of that fraction you can simply divide the numerator by the denominator, Example; 82/100 is same as 0.82 and 41/50 is same as 0.82.
