A newly developed test for coronavirus has sensitivity 0.90 and specificity 0.85. Sensitivity is the probability of a positive result given that a person has the virus, and specificity is the probability of a negative result given that a person has no virus. Suppose that 12% of the population has the coronavirus. If the test gives you a positive result, what is the probability that you actually have the virus? Show your work.

Sensitivity is the probability that a test will identify a person who has the disease you are testing for. Question 9 options: True False Which of the following statements is NOT true when describing Specificity? Question 10 options: A) It measures the effectiveness of a test in returning a negative test result to people who do not have the disease. B) It is the ability of a test to correctly identify people who have the disease you are testing for....

Suppose that a medical test for a certain disease has a sensitivity and specificity of 93%. The test is applied to a population of which 11% are actually infected by the disease. 1. Calculate the NPV and the PPV. 2. What percent of the total population will test positive who are disease-free? 3. What percent of the total population will test negative who have the disease?

The most commonly used test for HIV has a sensitivity of 0.997 and a specificity of 0.985. In other words, a person infected with HIV will test positive for the virus 99.7% of the time while a person NOT infected with HIV will test NEGATIVE for the virus 98.5% of the time. Research current rates of infection for the indicated population in order to answer the following questions. If a US randomly selected US resident is tested for HIV and...
