[2025-10-02T09:29:39.057558] [PI reasoning] **Calculating PPV**

I'm working on calculating the Positive Predictive Value (PPV). With a prevalence of 20% in a population of 10,000, that gives us 2,000 diseased individuals and 8,000 non-diseased ones. The sensitivity is 95%, which means we have 1,900 true positives and 100 false negatives. With a specificity of 80%, that results in 6,400 true negatives and 1,600 false positives. So, PPV is calculated as 1,900 divided by 3,500, yielding about 54.29%. Option B is 54.30%. I don’t need to search for literature here.
