Some epidemiologists are planning a second study to evaluate the PSA screening test. The only difference is that this time, the men from Reno who they randomly sample will be 44-59 years of age. Age is a strong risk factor for prostate cancer. The prevalence of prostate cancer in men 44-59 years of age will be much lower than the prevalence of prostate cancer in men 60-75 years of age. How do you expect the results of the second study will compare with the results from the study conducted among 60-75 year old men

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The second test result will be lower and more sensitive to changes than the first test result and it will better test the efficacy of the PSA screening test

Step-by-step explanation:

The evaluation the epidemiologist are planning = Prostrate Specific Antigen, PSA, screening test

The given difference between the first and second study = The age range of the study group

The age range of the first study = 60 to 75 years

The age range of the second study = 44 to 59

The prevalence of prostrate cancer in men 44 to 59 years of age < The prevalence of prostrate cancer in men 60 to 75 years of age

Therefore, due to the low prevalence, the result of the second test will be more sensitive than the result of the first test.

Each boy in a class has 11 pockets and each girl in the class has 13 pockets. How many boys and how many girls are in this class if all 21 students have a total of 251 pockets? Please answer ASAP and please no links.

Answers

Answer:

10 girls

11 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a system of equations:

b represents boys, g represents girls

b+g=21           (since there is a total of 21 students)

11b+13g=251   (since each boy has 11 pockets, each girl has 13, total of 251)

i chose the method of substitution, so i solved the first equation to get

b=21-g

then i substitute 21-g for b in the second equation, and solve:

11(21-g)+13g=251

231-11g+13g=251

2g+231=251

2g=20

g=10

then, i solved for boys (by choosing the top equation and substituting 10 for g, since we now know that g=10)

b+g=21

b+10=21

b=11

so there are 10 girls and 11 boys in this class

There are 10 girls and 11 boys in the class.

What is an equation?

"It is a statement which consists of equal symbol between two mathematical expressions."

What is system of equations?

"It is a finite set of equations for which we find a common solution."

For given example,

Let 'x' be the number of girls and 'y' be the number of boys.

Each boy in a class has 11 pockets and each girl in the class has 13 pockets.

And in this class if all 21 students have a total of 251 pockets.

So, we have system of equations,

⇒ x + y =21                                 .......................(1)

⇒ 13x + 11y = 251                        .......................(2)

From equation (1),

x = 21 - y                                  ......................(3)

Substitute this value of 'x' in the equation (2),

⇒ 13(21 - y) + 11y = 251

⇒ 273 - 13y + 11y = 251

⇒ 273 -2y - 273 = 251 - 273

⇒ -2y = -22

⇒ y = -22 / -2

y = 11

This means, there are 11 boys in the class.

Substitute the value of 'y' in equation (3),

⇒ x = 21 - 11

x = 10

This means there are 10 girls in the class.

Therefore, there are 10 girls and 11 boys in the class.
