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 three people
are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are
negative
Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture, assuming the
probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.04.
Probability =
(Round to four decimal places)
