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:

The predictive value of a positive test is is 0.43.

------------------

This question is solved using the concepts of sensitivity and specificity.

------------------

------------------

The predictive value of a positive test is:

Probability of a positive test, which is 40% of 90% plus 70% of 10%, so:

The predictive value of a positive test is is 0.43.

A similar question is given at

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

c - they will have the same distribution

step-by-step explanation:

this is the only one that could make sense. : )
