The probability that a lab specimen contains high levels of contamination is 0.15. a group of 3 independent samples are checked. round your answers to four decimal places (e. g. 98.7654). (a) what is the probability that none contain high levels of contamination? (b) what is the probability that exactly one contains high levels of contamination? (c) what is the probability that at least one contains high levels of contamination?

a) There is a 61,41% of none of the samples containing high levels of contamination.

b)There is a 32.52% probability that exactly one sample contains high levels of contamination.

c) There is a 38.59% probability that at least one contains high levels of contamination

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities are independent from each other. It means that the probability of selecting a lab specimen being contaminated is always 15%, no matter how many contaminated lab specimen have been chosen.

a) There are 3 independent samples. For each sample, the probability of it not being contaminated is 85%. So, the probability that none of the sample are contaminated is

P = (0.85)^3 = 0.6141 = 61,41%

There is a 61,41% of none of the samples containing high levels of contamination.

b) There are 3 independent samples. For each sample, the probability of it being contaminated is 15% and not contaminated 85%.

So the probability the exactly one sample contains high levels of contamination is:

P = (0.85)^2(0.15) = 0.1084 = 10,84%

There can be 3 orderings of the sample in these conditions.(C-NC-NC, NC-C-NC, NC-NC,C), so the probability that exactly one contains high levels of contamination is

P = 3*0.1084 = 0.3252 = 32.52%.

There is a 32.52% probability that exactly one sample contains high levels of contamination.

c) The sum of the probabilities is always 100%.

In relation to the existence of a contaminated sample, either:

-None of the samples are contaminated.

-At least one of the samples are contaminated.

So, the probability of at least one of the samples being contaminated is 100% - the probability that none of the samples are contaminated, that we have already found in a).

So, it is

100% - 61.41% = 38.59%

There is a 38.59% probability that at least one contains high levels of contamination

Answer from: Quest

correct choice is a

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line passing through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\dfrac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}.$

thus, the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -6) and (-3, 0) is

$\dfrac{x-0}{-3-0}=\dfrac{)}{)},\\ \\\dfrac{x}{-3}=\dfrac{y+6}{6},\\ \\2x=-y-6,\\ \\2x+y+6=0,\\ \\y=-2x-6.$

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), the experimenter looks at cards that are hidden from the subject. each card contains either a star, a circle, a wave, a cross or a square.(five shapes) as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. when the esp study described above discovers a subject whose performance appears to be better than guessing, the study continues at greater length. the experimenter looks at many cards bearing one of five shapes (star, square, circle, wave, and cross) in an order determined by random numbers. the subject cannot see the experimenter as he looks at each card in turn, in order to avoid any possible nonverbal clues. the answers of a subject who does not have esp should be independent observations, each with probability 1/5 of success. we record 1000 attempts. which of the following assumptions must be met in order to solve this problem? it's reasonable to assume normality 0.8(1000), 0.2(1000)%30 approximately normal 0.8(1000), 0.2(1000)% 10 approximately normal srs it is reasonable to assume the total number of cards is over 10,000 it is reasonable to assume the total number of cards is over 1000
