Ans 47%

Lets assume sensitivity(80%) means all disease= 80
and specificity (90%)means all well=90
(TP)True +ve=80 (FP)false +ve= 90 sum= 170
(FN)False -ve=20 (TN) True -ve= 810 sum=830
sum=100 sum=900

and we r looking for the PP (+ve predictive value) right?

so pp=Tp/ Tp+FP= 80/170= .47 or 47% correct me if I'm wrong.
