. An investigator wants to assess the usefulness of a certain symptom (S) in the diagnosis of a particular disease (D). In a random sample of 800 patients with the disease, 774 reported having the symptom. In an independent random sample of 1280 subjects without the disease, 17 reported having the symptom. a. Explain what a false positive would be in this situation. b. Explain what a false negative would be in this situation. c. What is the sensitivity of using the symptom (S) as a test for disease (D)? d. What is the specificity of using S as a test for D? e. If the prevalence of D in the population is 0.002, what is the positive predictive value of the S? f. What is the predictive value negative of S? g. What is the predictive value positive if the prevalence of disease is 0.02? And 0.2?

The prevalence of undetected diabetes in a population to be screened is approximately 1.5%, and it is assumed that 10,000 persons will be screened. The screening test will measure blood serum glucose content. A value of 180 mg% or higher is considered positive.
