Question

Composite Sampling for Diabetes Currently, the rate for new cases of diabetes in a year is 3.4 per 1000 (based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). When testing for the presence of diabetes, the Portland Diagnostics Laboratory saves money by combining blood samples for tests. The combined sample tests positive if at least one person has diabetes. If the combined sample tests positive, then the individual blood tests are performed. In a test for diabetes, blood samples from 10 randomly selected subjects are combined. Find the probability that the combined sample tests positive with at least 1 of the 10 people having diabetes. Is it likely that such combined samples test positive?
