Question 10<br />

Two psychiatrists disagree when rating a dichotomous child health<br />

outcome among 100 children. In ten <strong>of</strong> the cases, Dr. Green rated<br />

the outcome as present when Dr. Brown rated it as absent. In<br />

another ten cases, the reverse occurred; Dr. Brown rated the<br />

outcome as present while Dr. Green rated it as absent.<br />

If both Dr. Green and Dr. Brown agree that fifty children have the<br />

outcome, what will be the value <strong>of</strong> the Kappa coefficient?<br />

If they agree that 70 children have the outcome, will the Kappa be<br />

higher or lower?
