  • Please help with STATS question?

    Assume the following to be true about newborn hearing loss and screening:

    The prevalence of newborn hearing loss is 1%.

    The sensitivity of screening is 95% (i.e., 5% of those with hearing loss will be missed by the screening).

    The specificity of screening is 80% (i.e., 20% of those who fail screening will subsequently be found to be normal-hearing).

    Given that a newborn fails the screening, what is the probability that they actually do have hearing loss?

    (HINT: the definition of “conditional probability” is key to solving this problem.)

  • How far would you go for love?

    It was love at first sight after just one dance! I never believed in love, and that it can be so magical, and the thought not having this feeling would kill me. He proved me wrong! he never believed in long distance relationship and i proved him wrong. We can't imgine not spending our lives togetehrer. He is the one, and he stole my heart, and he says i swept him his feet, and that he promises to always love me no matter what. I feel the same way about him, and would never ever imagine being with anyone else. He proposed, and we are getting married next year. This is where i am getting scared about and worried. He lives in a different state, 6 hours by plane. I can move, i want to move, and i will move, becuase our love is so strong. but i am scared, im being honest, i worry about my family, leaving my life behind, not having my friends and family by myside.

    someone please tell me what they think? what would you do if you finally found love, and happiness, and will know that you will be ahppy with that person, but away from your family?

  • HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR LOVE & HAPPINESS?

    I met a guy at a party, it was love at first sight. He asked me to dance, and after that dance, we both felt something unusal. Like both of our worlds has turn over, and a mix of sparks and chemistry. I never believed in love at first sight, he proved me wrong. He lives in a different state, and he never belived in long distance relationship, I proved him wrong. We only danced and talked for 10 minutes. and then we departed. i went home, he went home. 2 hours later, he found me on FB, we emailed back and forth for 1 week, then it went on to the phone calls. for one month we called, texted, and emailed. Month later, he couldn't wait any longer, bought tickets to come see me for the weekend. It was the best 3 days of my life. I ve never been so happy, ive never smiled for so long, ive never felt this way, and he says the same. When he flew back home, we actually cried! if this is not love what is!

    Now this is where i need advice. I know what i want, i know what he wants, i know that he is the one, and then i will always be happy with him. He is going to propose, and i know the answer, but this is the real qeustion, he wants me to move to his state, he promises he will to make sure i will be happy, and that whenever i will miss my family (which is the biggest problem for me :( ) he will always get me tickets to visit them.

    Ladies and guys: tell me what you think? I know this is love, I know he is going to be an amazing husband, and before i get engaged, do you think i should move?
