Question

A certain disease has an incidence rate of 4%. If the false negative rate is 6% and the false positive rate is unknown, mark "CANNOT BE FIXED." What is the true positive rate for this disease?

Answer 1

The true positive rate for the disease is 94%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The true positive rate for the disease can be calculated by subtracting the false negative rate from 100%. Since the false negative rate is given as 6%, the true positive rate would be 100% - 6% = 94%.

For example, if there are 100 people with the disease, 94 of them would test positive correctly, while the remaining 6 would test negative incorrectly.

Therefore, the true positive rate for this disease is 94%.
