When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

samples of different blood specimens. If samples from five people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all five individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for five samples combined into one mixture, assuming the probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

Answer: 0.271

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of complement of an even is 1 decreased by the probability of the event

P(At least one) =1 - P(none)

The probability that of testing negative is 0.9 because the probability of testing positive is 0.1

P( at least one) = 1 - P(none) = 1 - (0.93^3) = 0.271

Answer:

17 minutes    i had this same answer and question 2day, so ur lucky.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 mins. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1 across. So let's put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross

2 comes back

7 and 10 go across

1 comes back

1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 mins
