Before the distribution of certain statistical software every fourth compact disk (CD) is tested for accuracy. The testing process consists of running four independent programs and checking the results. The failure rate for the 4 testing programs is respectively, 0.04, 0.03, 0.02, and 0.05. The probability thata CD was tested and failed at least one test is O 0.1330. O 0.0700 0.0900 0.1630
