Question
Please answer only 3.68

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose the self-reports are completely accurate and are
representative of the number of eighth-grade students who
smoke in the general community. We are considering using
an SCN level 2 100 µg/mL as a test criterion for identifying
cigarette smokers. Regard a student as positive if he or she
smokes one or more cigarettes per week.
*3.68 What is the sensitivity of the test for light-smoking
students (students who smoke ≤ 14 cigarettes per week)?
*3.69 What is the sensitivity of the test for moderate-smoking
students (students who smoke 15-44 cigarettes per week)?
*3.70 What is the sensitivity of the test for heavy-smoking
students (students who smoke ≥ 45 cigarettes per week)?
*3.71 What is the specificity of the test?
*3.72 What is the PV of the test?
![al. [11]). The lowest detection limit for dried blood spot coti-
nine was 3.1 ng/mL. The data in Table 3.9 were presented
relating dried blood spot cotinine determinations to umbilical
cord blood cotinine determinations.
Suppose a cutoff of 25 ng/mL is proposed as a criterion for
testing positive based on dried blood spot cotinine levels.
3.64 What is the sensitivity using this cut-point?
3.65 What is the specificity using this cut-point?
Suppose it is estimated based on a large sample of births in
California that 20% of mothers smoke at the time of delivery.
Suppose the screening test for detecting whether a mother
smokes at the time of pregnancy is based on a cutoff of 25
ng/mL using dried blood specimens from the newborn.
