Concept explainers
(a)
The incidence rate of breast cancer among the women who had the mammograms as per the given data
(b)
The percentage of women who tested positive and had cancer
(c)
The percentage of women who tested negative but had cancer
The sensitivity of a screening test is the accuracy of the test among people with the disease. In this case, the percentage of women with the disease who tested positive
(e)
The specificity of a screening test is the accuracy of the test among people without the disease. In this case, determine the percentage of women without the disease who tested negative

- Q4: Discuss the stability critical point of the ODES x + sin(x) = 0 and draw phase portrait.arrow_forwardUsing Karnaugh maps and Gray coding, reduce the following circuit represented as a table and write the final circuit in simplest form (first in terms of number of gates then in terms of fan-in of those gates). HINT: Pay closeattention to both the 1’s and the 0’s of the function.arrow_forwardRecall the RSA encryption/decryption system. The following questions are based on RSA. Suppose n (=15) is the product of the two prime numbers 3 and 5.1. Find an encryption key e for for the pair (e, n)2. Find a decryption key d for for the pair (d, n)3. Given the plaintext message x = 3, find the ciphertext y = x^(e) (where x^e is the message x encoded with encryption key e)4. Given the ciphertext message y (which you found in previous part), Show that the original message x = 3 can be recovered using (d, n)arrow_forward
