A new noninvasive screening test is proposed that is claimed to be able to identify patients with impaired glucose tolerance based on a battery of questions related to health behaviors. The new test is given to 75 patients. Based on each patient's response to the questions they are classified as positive or negative for impaired glucose tolerance. Each patient also submits a blood sample and their glucose tolerance status id determined and tabulated below. What is the sensitivity of the screening test? screening test          impaired glucose tolerance            not impaired positive                             17                                                     13 negative                               8                                                       37

The new test is given to 75 patients. Based on each patient's response to the questions they are classified as positive or negative for impaired glucose tolerance. Each patient also submits a blood sample and their glucose tolerance status id determined and tabulated below. What is the sensitivity of the screening test?

screening test          impaired glucose tolerance            not impaired

positive                             17                                                     13

negative                               8                                                       37

please clearly explain how you got this so I can try to figure it out on my own
