Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15​, find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely​ necessary?

The probability is not low

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

First, we calculate the probability of single negative using the complement rule

is calculated using:

---- i.e. complement rule

So, we have:

Probabilities less than 0.05 are considered low.

So, we can consider that the probability is not low because 0.2775 > 0.05

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
