    A. the probability of a false negative test results

    This corresponds to

    P (false | negative) = P (false) x P (negative)

    = (1 - P (true)) (1 - P (positive))

    = (1 - 0.75) (1 - 0.88)

    = 0.03

    b. he probability of a false positive test result

    = (1 - 0.75) (0.88)

    = 0.22
