Question

Statistics of a certain test conducted to determine a disease are given in the table.

The number of persons actually having the disease are

A.

11

B.

8

C.

20

D.

3

Correct option is A

Solution:
To determine the number of persons who actually have the disease, we need to consider:

True Positives (TP): People who actually have the disease and tested positive → 8
False Negatives (FN): People who actually have the disease but tested negative → 3
Since these two categories represent all people who actually have the disease, the total number of such persons is:

Total actual disease cases = True Positives + False Negatives
= 8 + 3
= 11

Final Answer: (a) 11
