for explanation

its as under

find the true positive rate of the test: 250/1000 = 25%...
n true negative rate of test : 100/1000 = 10%

80 ppl out of 100000 havin the disease...so true positives are the ppl out of those 80 ... so how much ppl as TRUE POSITIVES the test can find??

25% x 80 = 20

now how much population is not diseased??


100000- 80 = 99920

the false positive rate is 10% so 10% of this HEALTHY population will be found positive accordin to the test..which is the definition of bein false positive..
10% x 99920 = 9992

see the choice A... its the same
