Many diagnostic tests for detecting diseases do not test for the disease directly but for a chemical or biological product of the disease, hence are not perfectly reliable. Thesensitivity of a test is the probability that the test will be positive when administered to a person who has the disease. The higher the sensitivity, the greater the detection rate and the lower the false negative rate.


Suppose the sensitivity of a diagnostic procedure to test whether a person has a particular disease is 85%. A person who actually has the disease is tested for it using this procedure by two independent laboratories.


The probability that both test results will be positive is Blank 1


The probability that at least one of the two test results will be positive Blank 2
