Unformatted text preview: ph 141 summer 2010 midterm 1 NAME k F- )1 Show all work on these sheets. Total 100 points. Working time is 2 hours. Part 1. 20 points Aﬁer a person with dementia has died, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can be made deﬁnitively from an autopsy, but it is extremely difﬁcult to diagnose Alzheimer's disease for an elderly person with dementia. Suppose that researchers are assessing a new test to assist clinicians in their assessment of elderly patients with dementia. When the test was done for a sample of patients for whom the autopsy diagnosis was available, the test gave the following results: test + test — Alzheimer's disease 800 _ 100 900 other dementia ‘ 150 1350 1500 1. ( 4 points) Use these data to ﬁnd the following probabilities probability the test is positive given the person really has Alzheimer's disease 900 900 = .‘3‘? probability the test is negative given the person really has another dementia I350 : ﬁlo '50“ Suppose the prevalence of Alzheimer's among this population of elderly persons with dementia is thought to be .40 Using this prevalence and the information given above, set up a tree diagram on the next page to help you answer the following questions: (16 points) What is the probability of Alzheimer's disease given the test is positive?

What students are saying

• As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

• I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

Dana University of Pennsylvania ‘17, Course Hero Intern

• The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
