Specificity Example: Calculations (2)

  • To calculate the specificity of the current tried-and-true method, we'll use these numbers:
325 True Negatives
Divided by (325 True Negatives + 25 False Positives)
Times 100
or
[325 ÷ (325 + 25)] x 100.
  • The specificity for the current tried-and-true method is 92.9%.
