You are the medical director of a company that manufactures hot
pepper sauce. You want to screen the workers for the
hypersensitivity condition that causes severe conjunctival
irritation, blurry vision, and eye damage. The condition can be
treated effectively with expensive eyedrops. From the literature on
the subject, you determine that the sensitivity of the screening
test is 94% and that the specificity is 90%. You estimate the
prevalence of the condition in the workers to be 5%. What
percentage of positive screening test results would be
false-positive results?
a.67%
b.48%
c.18%
d.23%
e.81%
