OG－87

87. In test for pironoma, a serious disease, a false positive result indicates that people have pironoma when, in fact, they do not; a false negative result indicates that people do not have pironoma when, in fact, they do. To detect pironoma most accurately, physicians should use the laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results.

Which of the following, if true, gives the most support to the recommendation above?

(A) The accepted treatment for pironoma does not have damaging side effects.

(B) The laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results causes the same minor side effects as do other laboratory tests used to detect pironoma.

(C) In treating pironoma patients, it is essential to begin treatment as early as do possible, since even a week of delay can result in loss of life.

(D) The proportion of inconclusive test results is equal for all laboratory tests used to detect pironoma.

(E) All laboratory tests to detect pironoma have the same proportion of false negeative results.

fail prositive，没有病说有 fail negetive，有说没有

要最accurate，就是宁可错杀3000不可放过一个，当然要用lowerst negetive。

为什么conclusion说positive?? e为什么加强了 结论呢？？

我知道我的思路很好笑，请解惑

谢谢

最准确就是像您想的那样么，哈哈，mm太强了。最准确应该是尽量减少误差，而如果所有办法在得出假阳性结论的可能性是一样的，那么就要减少假阴性就可以了，所以支持了结论。

这题我还是不明白,有高人再给解释解释吧,

fail prositive，没有病说有 fail negetive，有说没有

要最accurate，就是要有最少的false  结果.

如果all tests 有同样的比例的false negatives,那么最accurate 的就是有最少比例的false positives.

不知道我有没有说明白．

If all tests have the same
proportion of false negatives, then the most accurate is the one that has the lowest proportion of false positives.

this is the explaination of the og.u can find the answer from it if u can understand it well.

by the way ,this problem is similar to og100.

hope cab be helpful.
