False positive rate is like when your teacher thinks you did your homework, but you actually didn't. The false positive rate is the number of times your teacher thinks you did your homework when you didn't, divided by the total number of times your teacher thinks you did your homework. A low false positive rate means your teacher doesn't think you did your homework very often when you didn't, which is good. But sometimes it's okay for your teacher to think you did your homework when you didn't, depending on why you didn't do it.
