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?
