Answer:

Explanation:

Let us consider a data of prevalent diseases.

If the false positive rate is P(Test + | N) = 0.04

Therefore, sensitivity is defined as the probability of a positive test result given the presence of the disease. This can be written as: P (positive test | disease present).

Specificity is defined as the probability of a negative test result given absence of disease, that is, P (negativetest | diseaseabsent). PPV is defined as the probability of the presence of disease given a positive test result, ie, P (disease present | positivetest).
