So what's it called when you take the proportion of FP from the total amount of positives? I was under the impression that if say 50 of those 103 positives were FP then that would mean a 50% FP rate because half of all the positives are false positives

Most people use the term false positive rate as a proxy for specificity, which technically is the ratio of false positives to true negatives + false positives
