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?

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...

Problem 6 A website for home pregnancy test cites the following: "When the subjects using the test were women who collected and tested their own samples, the overall sensitivityl was 75%. The specificity2 was 52%. Suppose a subject has a positive test and that 30% of women taking pregnancy tests are actually pregnant. [1] Sensitivity: probability that the test is positive given that the subject is pregnant. [2] Specificity: probability that...

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...

The sensitivity among those with the condition that will test positive. The specichy proportion among those without the condition that will test neg sensitivity of a test is defined to be the conditional ng those without the condition that will test negative.

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...

Suppose that your company has just developed a new screening test for a disease and you are in charge of testing its validity and feasibility. You decide to evaluate the test on 1000 individuals and compare the results of the new test to the gold standard. You know the prevalence of disease in your population is 30%. The screening test gave a positive result for 292 individuals. Two hundred eighty-five (285) of these individuals actually had the disease on the...
