E is the right answer. The reason is: To test the disease, there are only two options: false positive tests (X) and false negative tests (Y). If all tests have the same proportion of false negative results ( X is constant), the proportion of false positives is the only determinig variable in the choice of the most accurate test (Y is the only variable). Choice A and C are irrelevant because the question is about the "testing" for the disease, not the "treatment". |
