A test kit has been developed to fight a new virus spreading broadly world-wide. During Phase 2 of its development, it
was used to test 300 volunteers. Four were tested positive. After the testing, several other tests and follow-up were
done to cross check these volunteers. Eventually, it was confirmed that six of them indeed have contracted the virus,
only three of them were tested positive by the test kit.

What are the sensitivity and specificity of the test kit?

The sensitivity is 1. 0.5 (Please round the answer to 1 decimal place)

The specificty is 2. 0.997 (Please round the answer to 3 decimal places)
