of 200 positives results 175 are from patients with the disease under investigation. of 1000 negative results 100 are from patients with disease. Assume the other 25 positives are from individuals without the disease and the other 900 negative results are also from patients without the disease.
For the sensitivity without changing prevalence to 5% I got 63.6. For the specificity I got 97.3. ....I am not sure If I am correct
1.Change the prevalence to 5%
a. what is the sensitivity?
b.what is the specificity?
I am having a hard time finding specificity and sensitivity when the prevalence is changed to 5%
Homework Answers
For the given data, sensitivity = Number of true positive results / Number of people with disease
= 175/(175+100)
= 0.636
= 63.6%
Specificity = Number of true negative results / Number of people without disease
= 900/(900+25)
= 0.973
= 97.3%
1. When prevalence is 5%,
a) Sensitivity = 63.6%
b) Specificity = 93.7%
(Sensitivity and specificity are independent of prevalence. These two are properties of a test and will remain constant for all values of prevalence)

The data of a major referral hospital showed that most patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) were black American. Based on this, it was concluded that black Americans are at higher risk of IHD compared to other community groups. How would you describe the conclusion? A. Correct, because risk factors for IHD are more common in black African American. B. Incorrect, because no test of statistical significance has been made C. Incorrect, because prevalence is used instead of incidence D....

Patients with heart failure, diabetes, cancer, and lung disease who have various infections from gram negative organisms often receive aminoglycosides. One of the side effects of aminoglycosides is nephrotoxicity (possible damage to the kidney). A study was performed comparing the nephrotoxicity (rise in serum creatinine of at least 0.5 mg/dL) for the aminoglycoside gentamicin. The following results were obtained: Rise in serum creatinine (2 0.5) No rise in serum creatinine (< 0.5) 45 15 Gentamicin (G) No Gentamicin (G) 25T...

In a study of 380 diabetics and nondiabetics, patients were classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese according to their diabetes status. The probability of being normal weight is 0.31 and the probability of having diabetes is 0.39. If you select two individuals from the population, the probability of being diabetic and normal weight is 0.09. What is the probability that either of the two randomly selected individuals (or both) will be diabetic or normal weight? a. Pr (diabetic...
