Danish translation:sand positiv

Explanation:
Det er lidt af et gæt, men jeg regner med at det stammer fra statistik, hvor man taler om sand (evt. ægte) positiv, når det positivt resultat svarer til en positiv måling 'i virkeligheden' og om falsk positiv, når et positivt resultat svarer til en negativ måling 'i virkeligheden'.
