Data for TB testing using X-ray imaging
Table shows the results of using X-ray imaging as a diagnostic test for tuberculosis in patients with
known TB status. Use it to answer the questions below.
1. Calculate the marginal probabilities of the individual random variables, i.e. the probability of positive
and negative X-ray test results, and of TB being present and absent.
2. Find the probability of positive result given that TB is absent (false positive rate) and the probability
of a negative result given that TB is absent (specificity).
3. Find the probability of negative result given that TB is present (false negative rate) and the
probability of a positive result given that TB is present (sensitivity).
4. Find the probability that a person who tests positive actually has TB (probability of TB present given
a positive result).
5. Find the probability that a person who tests negative does not have TB (probability of no TB given a
negative result).
6. Assuming the test result and the TB status are independent, calculate the expected probability of
both TB being present and a positive X-ray test.}
7. Under the same assumption, calculate the expected probability of both TB being absent and a
positive X-ray test.

- /transcript Call centers typically have high turnover. The director of human resources for a large bank has compiled data on about 70 former employees at one of the bank's call centers. The accompanying table shows this data. In writing an article about call center working conditions, a reporter has claimed that the average tenure is no more than two years. Formulate and test a hypothesis using these data to determine if this claim can be disputed. Use a level of significance of 0.05. Click the icon to view the call center data. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the average tenure is no more than two years? Determine the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H₁. Ho ...
