tenderness, STT, and LTC to reach a sensitivity of 1.00 and a specificity of 0.74. (23) This would result in a post-test fracture probability of 64%. Two studies described diagnostic accuracy for combining tests but also used predicted probabilities. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the optimal combination of predictors. Predicted probabilities of a scaphoid fracture derived from regression…

So emotionally charged people become less sensitive to probabilities. Affective images have been shown to be strong predictors of adolescents’ decisions to take part in health-promoting or health-threatening behaviours (55,56). Research in health interventions suggested that images can play an important role in…

might affect the project. A standard risk checklist helps this process and addresses the most common risks. Project risk management is the process of planning for, identifying, analyzing, responding to, and monitoring project risk to minimize the probability and consequences of events that could be adverse to project objectives. Well-accomplished risk management processes…

The Monte Carlo method is a technique that involves using random numbers and probability and running many iterations to solve problems which is analogous to gambling. When we increase the number of iteration, the output of the simulation will increase until we reached the number that increasing the number of iterations will have very…

Earthquake outlook for the San Francisco Bay region 2014 -2043, reports different important contents about earthquakes which are preparing for an earthquake, why earthquakes occur in the San Francisco area, how scientists calculate earthquake probabilities, how it will affect you, and how to protect yourself and your family. Per the U.S Geological Survey (2016) reported that earthquake preparedness helps to help reduce the number of hazards. On August 24, 2014, a large earthquake with a…

Table 2 shows that increasing performance decreases the probability of turnover, which is consistent with theory and literature. Bigger companies tend to have a higher probability of turnover. Higher power distance index is correlated with lower probability of turnover, meaning CEO is more secure and is being challenged less. Long Term Orientation leads to a lower probability of turnover. Having a long term orientation decreases as it gives CEO more time to improve her performance and makes…

or not to have a child. The probability that Nelson and Aminata’s child will have sickle cell anemia is a 1 in 20 chance. By calculating the probability that Nelson is a heterozygous carrier of the HbS gene (.67), then the probability that Aminata is also a heterozygous carrier of the HbS gene (0.30), and finally the probability that two heterozygous carrier parents will produce heterozygous recessive offspring with sickle cell anemia (0.25), I calculated the probability of Nelson and Aminata…

concert; the percentage of attendees who would buy the T-shirt. Lassiter has anticipated that the potential outcomes particularly 80,000, 50,000 and 20,000 grand seats were the high medium and the low. The probability of 50,000 was as likely as both of the two outcomes combined. As, such the probability of other two alternative was almost equal, though 80,000 was more probable than 20,000. He likewise foresees that…

Introduction Formulated and eventually published in 1777, Buffon’s needle is a problem that Georges Louis-Leclerc, Comte de Buffon came up with. The problem was a simple one: when a needle drops onto a floor marked by equally spaced lines, what is the probability that the needle lands on one of the lines on the floor? The question by itself is an interesting one for me; when I first saw the problem I was actually surprised there was a mathematical way to solve the problem. However, Buffon’s…
