The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.003. In tests for the virus, blood samples from 22 people are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for the virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus. The probability that the combined sample will test positive is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Five plants are operated by a garment manufacturer. They feel there is a fifteen percent chance for a strike at any one plant and the risk of a strike at one plant is independent of the risk of a strike at another plant. Let X be the number of plants of the garment manufacturer that strike. Step 1 of 3 : Compute the probability that 33 of the plants will strike. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.
