Answer:
(a)
(b) It is not too low
Explanation:
Given
Solving (a):
First, calculate the probability of single negative
--- complement rule
The probability that two combined tests are negative is:
Using the complement rule, we have:
So, we have:
Solving (b): Is (a) low enough?
Generally, when a probability is less than or equal to 0.05; such probabilities are extremely not likely to occur
By comparison:
Hence, it is not too low
