23. Composite Drug Test Based on the data in Table 4-1 on page 146, assume that the probability of a randomly selected person testing positive for drug use is 0.126. If drug screening samples are collected from 5 random subjects and combined, find the probability that the combined sample will reveal a positive result. Is that probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?
9. A law firm employs three types of lawyers: junior lawyers, senior lawyers, and partners. During a given year, there is a 0.1 probability that a junior lawyer will be promoted to senior lawyer and a 0.05 probability that he or she will leave the firm. Also, there is a 0.2 probability that a senior lawyer will be promoted to partner and a 0.15 probability that he or she will leave the firm.
