A drug company is developing a new pregnancy-test kit for use on an outpatient basis. The company uses the pregnancy test on 100 women who are known to be pregnant for whom 95 test results are positive. The company uses test on 100 other women who are known to not be pregnant for whom 99 test results are negative.
What is the specificity of the test?

4.4 Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition that causes serious adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancy. It is estimated that approximately 11.7% of women have GDM during pregnancy. A clinic trial was initiated to test a screening method for GDM among 37 pregnant women who had GDM and 33 pregnant women without GDM. The results are listed below Test (+) 36 Test (-) Total 37 Women with GDM Women without GDM 31 a) What is the sensitivity? b) What is...

1-3. In 2010, in the U.S., the pregnancy rate among women 15-44 was 9.8%. There are many pregnancy tests out there. Nancy decided to use AccuBaby, because she saw the relatively high "accuracy" number (97% accurate). Accuracy is often misunderstood and confused with other measures like sensitivity and precision. We will interpret accuracy as the probability that a woman who is pregnant tests positive, and the probability of receiving a negative result if she is not pregnant. That...

A clinical trial is run to evaluate the effectiveness of a new drug to prevent preterm delivery. A total of n=250 pregnant women agree to participate and are randomly assigned to receive either the new drug or a placebo and followed through the course of pregnancy. Among 125 women receiving the new drug, 24 deliver preterm and among 125 women receiving the placebo, 38 deliver preterm. Is there a significant difference in the proportions of women who deliver preterm who...

Suppose the Acme Drug Company develops a new drug, designed to prevent colds. The company states that the drug is equally effective for men and women. To test this claim, they choose a a simple random sample of 100 women and 200 men from a population of 100,000 volunteers. At the end of the study, 38% of the women caught a cold; and 51% of the men caught a cold. Based on these findings, can we reject the company's claim...

In this hypothetical case study, a new rapid test kit nicknamed Alpha is being reviewed. The sensitivity of Alpha is 93.0% (0.93) and the specificity is 96.0% (0.96). Assume that the actual prevalence of the Zika antibody among the United States population of blood donors is 4% (0.04) and that of the hurricane disaster relief volunteers returning from Puerto Rico is 20.0% (0.20). Construct a 2 x 2 table, to calculate the positive predictive value (PPV) and the negative predictive...
