positive 		True positive
(TP) = 20 		False positive
(FP) = 180 		Positive predictive value (PPV)
= TP / (TP + FP)
= 20 / (20 + 180)
= 10%
Test
outcome
negative 		False negative
(FN) = 10 		True negative
(TN) = 1820 		Negative predictive value (NPV)
= TN / (FN + TN)
= 1820 / (10 + 1820)
≈ 99.5%
Sensitivity
= TP / (TP + FN)
= 20 / (20 + 10)
≈ 67%
 Specificity
= TN / (FP + TN)
= 1820 / (180 + 1820)
= 91%
