In a sample of 1,000 people who are screened for Disease A, 100 actually have the disease. The screening test identifies 90/100 of the diseased individuals as potential disease cases. The sensitivity of the screening test is:

The answer to the question is

The test is 90 % sensitive

Step-by-step explanation:

The sensitivity of a screening test is defined as the capability of a screening test to accurately diagnose an individual as having a disease (true positive rate while test specificity is the capability of a test to correctly indicate the individuals not having a disease also known as the true negative rate. It is given by

Where TP = True Positive and

FN = False Negative

Here the test is able to diagnose 90 out of 100 correctly that is the test is 90% sensitive

step-by-step explanation:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
