    After 03 weeks of hard work in sizzling heat of Ramazan, my hard work has paid off and finally I have made the Examination papers to thoroughly test the concepts of my enthusiastic and intelligent students.
    The only question is now to see whether you have worked more harder than me or I have worked more harder than you.
    I hope my students will beat me in hardwork Suspect
    Till them, my fingers crossed. Dhum Dhum chick chick......

    Knowledge testing has become a science rather than an art, and i m going to test my scientific skills. those who worked hard in studies will get through and those who have worked hard in extra curricular activities will be my guests

    OK here goes a brain teaser for exam.

    Riffat Anjum has invented a new test for detection of hypothyroidism, which has a sensitivity of 0.8 and specificity of 0.85. Arshad Nadeem has recommended that this test be adopted by the Health Department of KPK. In this regard, a team comprising of Shehla Safdar and Naeem Durrani have been assigned to conduct trials of the test.
    They decide to conduct this test in Abasyn. a total of 1200 are screened.
    1. How many will test Negative if the prevalence of Hypos in 50% ( it is much more but we are being conservative here).
    2. Suppose Arif tests Positive on this test. What would be the probability that this test is wrong

    Answers should be submitted here within 24 hours

    Respected Sir,

    Let me try it too to test whether I have any backup in the top of my mind or not!

    1. How many will test Negative if the prevalence of Hypos in 50% ( it is much more but we are being conservative here).


    630 will test negative (510 will be true negative and 120 will be false negative).

    2. Suppose Arif tests Positive on this test. What would be the probability that this test is wrong

    There is 15.8% chance that the test will be false positive.

    Shafiq is brilliant. He did it. Ironically not a single hypothyroid who have epidemiology paper next week tried to solve it or were interested to solve. Inshallah all of them will fail by the grace of Almighty God

    screened = 1200

    Sensitivity of test = 0.8

    specificity of test =0.85

    Prevelance of hypo = 50%

    Result of screening having hypo not having hypo total

    Positive a= 480 b=90 570

    Negative c= 120 d=510 630

    Total a+c= 600 b+d= 600 1200

    1: . How many will test Negative if the prevalence of Hypos in 50% ( it is much more but we are being conservative here)

    Ans: 630

    2: Suppose Arif tests Positive on this test. What would be the probability that this test is wrong

    Ans: False negatives are 90 people, so there is a probability that Arif's test is 15% wrong.
