A negative test finding out occurred in 60 people who had the disease. A total of 50 persons not diseased tested positive for it. Suppose that the prior probability is not known. By using TP as a true positive, FP as a false positive, FN as a false negative and TN as a true negative compute the given question:

A) What was the sensitivity of the test?

B) What was the specificity of the test?

C) What is the total accuracy of the test?

D) What was the predictive value of a positive test?
