Normal screening test hypothesis performance goals.
| True Log Reduction | Error | Desired Probability of Error |
|---|---|---|
| 2 or less | Concluding log reduction exceeds 2 and giving 2 log credit | 0.01 = 1% or less |
| 3 | Concluding log reduction is at most 2 and not giving 2 log credit | 0.5 = 50% or less |
| 4 | Concluding log reduction is at most 2 and not giving 2 log credit | 0.25 = 25% or less |
