An insurance company rents 35% of the cars for its customers from agency I and 65% from agency II. If 8% of the cars of agency I and 5% of the cars of agency II break down during the rental periods, what is the probability that a car rented by this insurance company breaks down? Assuming that a randomly selected car broke down, what is the probability that this car is from agency

A certain blood test is 99.5% effective at detecting Foreign Bloodborne Pathogens (such as the hepatitis virus) in human blood. If two people who take this test are selected at random, what is the probability both tests correctly detect a Foreign Bloodborne Pathogen? If ten people who take this test are selected at random, what is the probability all tests correctly detect a Foreign Bloodborne Pathogen? If 1,000 people who take this test are selected at random, what is the probability at least one test FAILS to detect a Foreign Bloodborne Pathogen?
According to Mendel’s theory, if tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, the corresponding probabilities are 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, and 1/16 for tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless, respectively. If 8 plants are selected, find the probability that 1 will be tall and colorful, 3 will be tall and colorless, 3 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.(4 decimal digits)
