3) sensitivity = T+ / L = 1389/1427=0.9734
4) specificity = T- / Lbar = 583/593=0.9831
5) P(false negative) = 10/1399 = 0.0071
6) P(false positive) = 38/621 = 0.0612
7) positive predictive value = 1389/1399 = 0.9929
8) negative predictive value = 583/621=0.9388

A new test is developed for detecting the presence of steroids in athlete urine samples. The test could produce false negative results 5% of the time. It could also produce false positive results 10% of the time. Based on past evidence, it is believed that 2% of the athletes do use steroids. This test is administered to an athlete, and his test result is positive for steroids. What is the probability that this athlete actually used steroids? Show your work....
A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of the mysterious Brainlesserian disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.82. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.06. It is estimated that 13 % of the population who take this test have the disease. If the test administered...

A screening test for a rare form of TB has a 7% false positive rate (i.e. indicates the presence of the disease in people who do not have it). The test has an 8% false negative rate (i.e. indicates the absence of the disease in people who do have it). In a population of which 0.6% have the disease, what is the probability that someone who tests positive has the disease?
3. One half percent of the population has a particular disease. A test is developed for the disease. The test gives a false positive 3% of the time and a false negative 2% of the time. a. [7] What is the probability that Joe (a random person) tests positive? b. [6] Joe just got the bad news that the test came back positive; what is the probability that Joe has the disease?
3. TestX has created a screening tool, 'iTest', to test for the presence of a gene, Gene X, in men. After screening, the patient receives a test report, which could be one of two kinds: a positive one or a negative one. One can interpret the screening tool iTest as a hypothesis testing procedure for testing the null 'Ho: The patient does not carry the gene X', against the alternative, 'Hi The patient carries the gene X'. A positive test...
