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 five people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all five individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for five samples combined into one mixture, assuming the probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 8 tracks on it. after listening to them you decide that you like 4 of the songs. with the random feature on your player, each of the 8 songs is played once in random order. find the probability that among the first two songs played (a) you like both of them. would this be unusual? (b) you like neither of them. (c) you like exactly one of them. (d) redo () if a song can be replayed before all 8 songs are played.
