Determining the specificity of the experimental method will help to verify that the test method is accurate.
- Using the equation for specificity, we insert the following numbers:
100 True Negatives
Divided by (100 True Negatives + 275 False Positives)
Times 100
or
[100 ÷ (100 + 275)] x 100.
- The specificity for the "Experimental" method is 26.7%.
