For series interpretation, both tests must be positive for it to be considered a positive result. From the scenario tree this is the result for the first limb on the left, which has probability P(+/+) = Se1 ï‚´ Se2 = 0.5 ï‚´ 0.6 = 0.3. Thus, the formula for sensitivity for series interpretation is Seseries = Se1 ï‚´ Se2 and for this example is 0.3 or 30%.
