Answer to Problem 1EA
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Symptom | Hypothyroid |
Euthyroid |
Hyperthyroid |
Recent onset of nervousness (N) | 0.06 | 0.37 | 0.92 |
Recent onset of heat sensitivity(H) | 0 | 0.17 | 0.74 |
Recent onset of increased sweating (S) | 0.13 | 0.25 | 0.68 |
Recent onset of increased appetite (A) | 0.03 | 0.1 | 0.61 |
Recent onset of weight loss (W) | 0.13 | 0.45 | 0.84 |
Explanation:
