Diagnostic tests of medical conditions can be positive or
negative whether or not a patient has the condition. A false
negative occurs when the test result is negative given that the
patient does in fact have the condition. A positive test can
indicate that the patient has the condition or is a false positive
when the patient does not actually have the condition. Consider a
sample of 200 randomly selected patients, some of whom have a
medical condition. Results for a new diagnostic test for the
condition are shown.
