Is the result always correct?
In almost all cases the result is correct. However, for most scientific and medical tests there is a small risk of an abnormal result when there is not really an abnormality (false positive). There is also a small risk of getting a normal result when there is really an abnormality (false negative).

What if the test fails and there is no result?
