Sensitivity Example: Calculations (1)

  • Using the example to the right that was previously used for specificity, the sensitivity can be determined.
  • The experimental method produced 600 true positives and 25 false negatives.
  • By inserting these numbers into the sensitivity equation, we get [600 ÷ (600 + 25)] x 100.
  • Thus, the experimental method has a sensitivity of 96%.
