The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.005. In tests for the virus, blood samples from 14 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.) Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? O A. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is less than or equal to 0.05. O B. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive s less than or equal to 0.05. OC. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05. O D. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05.

Estimation

A new framework of data analysis where the new statistical methods are used for interpreting the results and analyzing the data is known as estimation in statistics.

Question

The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.005. In tests for the virus, blood samples from 14 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.)
Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive?
O A. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is less than or equal to 0.05.
O B. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is less than or equal to 0.05.
OC. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05.
O D. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05.
