A company recruits 750 men under the age of 55. Suppose that 35% carry a marker on the male chromosome that indicates an increased risk for high blood pressure. a. If 15 men in the company are tested for the marker in this chromosome, what is the probability that more than 1 man has the marker? b. If 15 men in the company are tested for the marker in this chromosome, what is the probability that exactly 1 man has the marker? 3 decimal places

A bag contains 5 white, 7 red and 9 black balls. If three balls are picked out one at a time at random and not returned to the bag (i.e. without replacement). What is the probability that in the sample there will be 3 red balls. Enter the numerical value of your answer only, giving your answer to 4 decimal places if needed. For example, if your answer was 0.3076923 this would be rounded to 0.3077. If your answer is an exact decimal number such as 0.32 you would just enter 0.32. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
A certain affects virus 0.2% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 90% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 15% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false postive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below.
