1.A new diagnostic test has been developed to Diagnose Disease.docx
1.
A new diagnostic test has been developed to Diagnose Disease Y. The new test was compared to the standard diagnostic test (“the gold standard”) on the same set of patients, and the following data were obtained:
Number of patients diagnosed by the new test as having Disease Y, who actually had Disease Y = 3,252
Number of patients in the group who were diagnosed by the standard test as having Disease Y = 4,579
Number of patients diagnosed by the new test as not having Disease Y = 4, 737
Number of patients diagnosed by the new test as having Disease Y, who actually do not have Disease Y= 784
The standard diagnostic test is a tissue biopsy, and therefore, is considered to be 100% sensitive for diagnosing Disease Y.

Two new tests have been developed to diagnose Condition Z. One test (Test A) measures a metabolite “Metabolite A” in the serum. The other test (Test B) measures a different metabolite, “Metabolite B” in the urine. After appropriate preliminary testing, human trials are conducted. Following informed consent, the two tests were run on a group of patients with each patient getting both tests, as well as the “gold standard” test for diagnosing Condition Z. The following data were obtained:

For test A, a cutoff value of 4.0 mg / ml of metabolite A is chosen as the boundary between a negative and a positive test result (i.e., values below 4.0 mg / ml
are considered “negative” and values of 4.0 mg / ml or greater are considered “positive”).
For test B, a cutoff value of 6.0 ng / ml for metabolite B is chosen as the boundary between a negative and a positive test result (i.e., values below 6.0 ng / ml are considered “negative” and values of 6.0 ng / ml or greater are considered.

Did the note provide for payment of a "fixed amount of money"? Discuss fully.

Batman argued that the only requirement was that he notify the bank of any unauthorized signatures within a year. How should the court rule?

1.A new diagnostic test has been developed to Diagnose Disease.docx
1.
A new diagnostic test has been developed to Diagnose Disease Y. The new test was compared to the standard diagnostic test (“the gold standard”) on the same set of patients, and the following data were obtained:
Number of patients diagnosed by the new test as having Disease Y, who actually had Disease Y = 3,252
Number of patients in the group who were diagnosed by the standard test as having Disease Y = 4,579
Number of patients diagnosed by the new test as not having Disease Y = 4, 737
Number of patients diagnosed by the new test as having Disease Y, who actually do not have Disease Y= 784
The standard diagnostic test is a tissue biopsy, and therefore, is considered to be 100% sensitive for diagnosing Disease Y.

The sensitivity of the new test

Two new tests have been developed to diagnose Condition Z. One test (Test A) measures a metabolite “Metabolite A” in the serum. The other test (Test B) measures a different metabolite, “Metabolite B” in the urine. After appropriate preliminary testing, human trials are conducted. Following informed consent, the two tests were run on a group of patients with each patient getting both tests, as well as the “gold standard” test for diagnosing Condition Z. The following data were obtained:

For test A, a cutoff value of 4.0 mg / ml of metabolite A is chosen as the boundary between a negative and a positive test result (i.e., values below 4.0 mg / ml

For test B, a cutoff value of 6.0 ng / ml for metabolite B is chosen as the boundary between a negative and a positive test result (i.e., values below 6.0 ng / ml are considered “negative” and values of 6.0 ng / ml or greater are considered.

William Bailey and William Vaught, as officers for Bailey, Vaught, Robertson, and Co. (BVR), signed a promissory note to borrow $34,000 from the Freedom National Bank. The interest rate was variable: "the lender's published prime rate" plus 1 percent. Freedom went out of business, and ultimately, the note was acquired by Robin Hood Investments, Inc. When BVR failed to make payments, Robin Hood filed a suit in state court against BVR. BVR contended in part that the note was not negotiable because after Freedom closed, there was no "published lender's prime rate" to use to calculate the interest. Did the note provide for payment of a "fixed amount of money"? Discuss fully.

City National filed a motion to dismiss, claiming that the suit was barred because Batman did not file it within a year of City National’s making available to Batman the bank statements that reflected the forged checks. Batman argued that the only requirement was that he notify the bank of any unauthorized signatures within a year. How should the court rule?
