Which of the following statements about specificity is the most accurate?

A) The probability that a diseased person (case) in the population tested will be identified as diseased by the test.
B) The probability that a person without the disease (noncase) in the population tested will be identified as nondiseased by the test.
C) The probability that a person identified as diseased by the test will be a diseased person (case) in the population.
D) The probability that a person identified as nondiseased by the test will be a person without the disease (noncase) in the population.
E) The probability that a diseased person (case) in the population tested will be identified as nondiseased by the test.

Specificity is the probability of correctly diagnosing a person without the disease will be identified as nondiseased status by the test."The probability that a diseased person (case) in the population tested will be identified as diseased by the test" corresponds to sensitivity,"The probability that a person identified as diseased by the test will be a diseased person (case) in the population" corresponds to the positive predictive value,"The probability that a person identified as nondiseased by the test will be a person without the disease (noncase) in the population" corresponds to the negative predictive value,and "The probability that a diseased person (case) in the population tested will be identified as nondiseased by the test" corresponds to false-positive.
