    Answer: the miss rate is 1 in 20 people

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's assume that 100 diabetic persons are tested, the test results will show that 95% has the disease and 5% will be reported as not having diabetes

    95% of 100 = 95

    Therefore, 5 people will be missed and wrongly reported out of 100.

    If 5 people is missed out of 100

    The miss rate will be

    5/100 = 1/20 by simplification.

    Which means that 1 person out of every 20 persons tested will be missed.
