testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from two people are combined and the mixture tests​ negative, then both samples are negative. On the other​ hand, one positive sample will always test​ positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. 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?w./search?q=%E2%80%8B"At+ least%E2%80%8B+one"+is+equivalent+t o%E2%80%8B+.&oq=%E2%80%8B"At+le ast%E2%80%8B+one"+is+equivalent+to% E2%80%8B+.&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i 22i30l3.409j0j4&sourceid=chrome &ie=UTF-8 The probability of a positive test result is nothing

Asays "we are both knaves" and b says nothing. exercises 24–31 relate to inhabitants of an island on which there are three kinds of people: knights who always tell the truth, knaves who always lie, and spies (called normals by smullyan [sm78]) who can either lie or tell the truth. you encounter three people, a, b, and c. you know one of these people is a knight, one is a knave, and one is a spy. each of the three people knows the type of person each of other two is. for each of these situations, if possible, determine whether there is a unique solution and determine who the knave, knight, and spy are. when there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions. 24. a says "c is the knave," b says, "a is the knight," and c says "i am the spy."
