A new endocrine cancer diagnostic algorithm is tested on 70 subjects. 10 of them are actual cancer patients and 60 of them are cancer-free. The diagnostic algorithm has 90% sensitivity and 80% specificity on these subjects. What are the numbers of True Negative and False Positive cases?
Homework Answers
numbers of True Negative =P(tested negative given not have disease)
=N(not have disease)* specificity =(70-10)*0.8 =48
numbers of False Positive =N(not have disease)-numbers of True Negative=60-48 =12

1. Someone new is preparing media for lab and adds buffers to the EMB agar that raise the pH to 7.8. The starting pH of EMB plates should be 6.9 – 7.3. No one is aware of the change. The EMB plates are inoculated for identification of unknown bacteria. After the appropriate incubation time, the results are interpreted. A. Discuss the consequences of the change in starting pH to the interpretation of the results. (The answer is not that no...

Negative predictive value is a probability of not having disease given that you have just tested negative and is expressed as O a. True negative/(True negative False Positive) O b. True positive/(True positive False Negative) О c. True Negative/(True negative + False Negative) O d.

Diagnostic tests of medical conditions can have several types of results. The test result can be positive or negative, whether or not a patient has the condition. A positive test (+) indicates that the patient has the condition. A negative test (-) indicates that the patient does not have the condition. Remember, a positive test does not prove the patient has the condition. Additional medical work may be required. Consider a random sample of 200 patients, some of whom have...
