Final answer:
The extent to which the score correctly excludes individuals with normal speech from the abnormal group is known as Specificity. If a test has high specificity, the probability of a false positive is low.
Step-by-step explanation:
The extent to which the score correctly excludes individuals with normal speech from the abnormal group is known as Specificity. Test specificity is the probability of getting a negative test result when the patient is not infected. If a test has high specificity, the probability of a false positive is low.
For example, if a speech evaluation test correctly identifies 90% of individuals with normal speech as being normal, we can say that the test has a specificity of 90%.
