  A reseаrcher wаnts tо see if the Oswestry Lоw Bаck Disability Index is a gоod predictor of the days a person is unable to work after sustaining a herniated disc in their lumbar spine.  In orthopedics the Oswestry is a patient reported outcome that determines the level of disability. Scores range from 0% - 100% (the higher the score indicates a higher level of disability).  Based on the output below, write a statement of the predictive value of the Oswestry for days unable to work. (Be sure to include the statistic).  Additionally, write what the quality of the predictive value is (good, moderate, poor).
