sensitivity = probability of a positive test among patients with disease so when we say the test have 80% sensitivity so there is a chance of 20% of false Negative due to other factors which my affect the test
specificity = probability of a negative test among patients without disease we say the test have 80% specificity so there is a chance of 20% of false positive due to other factors which my affect the test
