event)

What is the multiplication rule? (independent) - Answer-P(AB) = P(A) P(B|A) = P(B)
P(A|B)

What is the addition rule? (disjoint) - Answer-P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AB)

If A and B are disjoint, the must be dependent. - Answer-TRUE

"Sensitivity" (HIV example) - Answer-P(T+| HIV+)

"Specificity" (HIV example) - Answer-P(T- | HIV-)

Positive result (HIV example) - Answer-P(T+) = true positive + false positive

Positive predictive value (PPV) - Answer-P(True positive | T+)

How can PPV be improved? - Answer-If disease prevalence rate is higher

Population mean E(X) - Answer-µ(x) = sum[xi * P(X = xi)]

Population variance Var(X) - Answer-σ^2(x) = sum[(xi-µ)^2 * P(X = xi)]

Population standard deviation - Answer-σ(x) = sqrt(σ^2(x))
