Some street foods were sampled and tested for the presence of disease-causing bacteria or harmful chemicals. A random sample of 200 street foods of various types according to how they are prepared was examined. The table shows the results. 1. What is the probability that a street food selected at random is fried? 2. What is the probability that a street food selected at random is both grilled and contains harmful chemicals? 3. What is the probability that a street food selected at random has both bacteria and harmful chemicals?

Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year? Why or why not?
