This video explains about risk and screening, and shows how to calculate and express rates of false positives and false negatives. An imaginary disease, "Earpox" is used for the examples.
Risk is another name for probability.
0:45 Earpox represents cancer, infectious diseases, mental illness, lie detection, recruitment decisions.
