Question:
1. The percentage of those with a positive test result who actually have disease is defined as?
2. The percentage of those with a negative test result who do not have the disease is defined as?
I answered positive predictive value(ppv) and negative predictive value(npv) respectively but my professor said it’s wrong and that the answer to these questions refers to individuals
