  1. Sensitivity = true positive (10)/true positive (10) + false negative (39)*100 = 20.4 %. PPV = true positive (10)/true positive (10) + false positive (8) * 100 = 55.5%. Specificity = true negative (238)/true negative (238) + false positive (8) * 100 = 96.75%. NPV = true negative (238)/true negative (238) + false negative (39)  * 100 = 86 %
