jmorga75 MathJax example [Specificity = {TP \over TP + FN}] [Specificity = {81 \over 81+5} = 95\% ] +

yb_26 @jmorga75 it is a formula for sensitivity = TP/(TP+FN) = 81/100 = 81%. Specificity = TN/(TN+FP) = 95/100 = 95% +

specificity = TN/TN+FP

true negatives = negative test in patient who does not have the disease

false positives = positive test in patient who does not have the disease

5 asymptomatic patients have positive test => 95 asymptomatic patients are true negatives

TN + FP = all asymptomatic patients = 100

specificity = 95/100 = 95%
