Question:

Neuroblastoma is a rare, serious, but treatable disease. A urine test, the VMA test, has been developed that gives a positive diagnosis in about 70% of cases of neuroblastoma. It has been proposed that this test be used for large-scale screening of children. Assume that 300,000 children are to be tested, of whom 8 have the disease. We are interested in whether or not the test detects the disease in the 8 children who have the disease. Find the probability that
(a) All eight cases will be detected.
(b) Only one case will be missed.
(c) Two or more cases will be missed.
