20)Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, then allthree samples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always testpositive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.2, find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?

The probability of a positive test result is?

21) To reduce laboratory costs, water samples from six public swimming pools are combined for one test for the presence of bacteria.

Find the probability that a combined sample from six public swimming areas will reveal the presence of bacteria. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?
