- For SLNB + PLN sampling, the FNR was \(\left( {{{\rm{b}}^\prime }} \right)/\left( {{{\rm{a}}^\prime }{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{b}}^\prime }} \right) = 8\;\left( {183{\rm{ + 8}}} \right) = 4.2\%\). Sensitivity was \(\left( {{{\rm{a}}^\prime }} \right)/\left( {{{\rm{a}}^\prime }{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{b}}^\prime }} \right) = 183\;\left( {183{\rm{ + 8}}} \right) = 95.8\%\).
