Ideal gas except for the specification of these constants. The results of the quantum Boltzmann gas are used in a number of cases including the Sackur–Tetrode equation for the entropy of an ideal gas and the Saha ionization equation for a weakly ionized plasma. The classical thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas can be described by two equations of state: The ideal gas law is the equation of state for an ideal gas, given by: where The ideal gas law is an extension of experimentally discovered gas laws. It can also be derived from microscopic considerations. Real fluids at low density and
Positive and negative predictive values event that the test makes a negative prediction, and the subject has a positive result under the gold standard. The ideal value of the NPV, with a perfect test, is 1 (100%), and the worst possible value would be zero. The NPV can also be computed from sensitivity, specificity, and prevalence: The complement of the NPV is the (FOR): Although sometimes used synonymously, a "negative predictive value" generally refers to what is established by control groups, while a negative post-test probability rather refers to a probability for an individual. Still, if the individual's pre-test probability of the target condition is
