For sensitivity, we assume an animal is infected and that it is tested with both Test 1 and Test 2. For Test 1, the probability of a positive test result (given that the animal is infected) is Se1 = 0.5 and the corresponding probability that it will give a negative result is 1 - Se1, also = 0.5 for this example. For Test 2, the probability of a positive test result (given that the animal is infected) is Se2 = 0.6 and the corresponding probability that it will give a negative result is 1 - Se2 = 0.4.
