P(single sample testing positive) = 0.05
P(single sample testing negative) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95
P(mixture of sample giving positive result) = 1 - P(all single samples in mixture giving negative result)
= 1 - 0.953
= 0.143
A probability can be considered low enough to be rare if it is below 0.05
C. The probability is not low, so further testing of the individual samples will not be a rarely necessary event.

Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples, the samples from four people are combined and the mixture tots negative, then all four samples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always test positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 01 find the probability of a positive result for four samples combined into one mixture is the probability low...
Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from two people are combined and the mixture tests negative, then both samples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always test positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.1, find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low...
When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partal samples of different blood specimens. If samples from four people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all four are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for four samples combined into one mixture, assuming the probability of an indivicdiual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.02. indvidual samples Binomial Calculator nter the...

4.2.3 Question Help Refer to the figure below in which surge protectors p and q are used to protect an expensive high-definition television. If there is a surge in the voitage, the surge protector reduces it to a safe level. Assume that each surge protector has a 0.95 probability of working correcty when a voltage surge occurs. Complete parts (a) through (c) below p-TV Series Configuration Parallel Configuration a. If the two surge protectors are arranged in series, what is...
Refer to the table which summarizes the results of testing for a certain disease Positive Test Negative Result Test Result 89 28 Subject has the disease Subject does not have the disease 158 If one of the results is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a false positive (test indicates the person has the disease when in fact they don't)? Round the probability to three decimal places. What does this probability suggest about the accuracy of the...
The individual actually had the disease Yes No The accompanying table shows the results from a test for a certain disease. Find the probability of selecting a subject with a negative test result, given that the subject has the disease. What would be an unfavorable consequence of this error? ott Positive Negative 13 1155 Nd The probability is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

hi, my answers seemed strange after using Bayes theorem, so I am unsure if I made the right calculations. Please show your work so I can catch my error :) Extra Credit: ELISA tests are used to screen donated blood for the presence of the AIDS virus. The test actually detects antibodies, substances that the body produces when the virus is present. When antibodies are present, ELISA is positive with probability about 0.997 and negative with probability about 0.003. When...
