Workers of an insulation manufacturer are undergoing testing for asbestos traces in their lungs. Three employees with positive traces are requested to be sent to a medical center for more testing. Suppose that 40% of workers are positive for asbestos traces. What is the probability that ten workers should be tested to find three positives? Random Variable: Distribution: Computation:
