If you have ever tried to take a family photo, you know that it is very difficult to get a picture where no one is blinking. It turns out that the probability of an individual blinking during a photo is about 0.04 (Svenson 2006). a) If you take a picture of one person, what is the probability that they will not be blinking? b) If you take a picture of 10 people, what is the probability that at least one person is blinking during the photo?

Suppose that if person with tuberculosis is given a TB screening, the probability that his or her condition will be detected is 0.90. If a person without tuberculosis is given a TB screening , the probability that he or she will be diagnosed incorrectly as having tuberculosis is 0.3.
