Questions and Answers

What is the formula for calculating the negative predictive value (NPV)?

  • NPV = TN + FN
  • NPV = TP + FN
  • NPV = TP / (TP + FN)
  • NPV = TN / (TN + FN) (correct)

  • 81.5% (correct)
  • 79.0%
  • 70.9%
  • 76.6%
  • If a new population has 3,000 True Negatives and 800 False Negatives, what would be the negative predictive value in this new population?

  • 79.4% (correct)
  • 78.1%
  • 72.5%
