Three components are randomly sampled, one at a time, from a large lot. As each component is selected, it is tested. If it
passes the test, a success (S) occurs; if it fails the test, a failure (F) occurs. Assume that 82.0% of the components in the lot
will succeed in passing the test. Let X represent the number of successes among the three sampled components.
Find P(SFS) and P(SSF). (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
P(SFS) =

Of those women who are diagnosed to have early-stage breast cancer, one-third eventually die of the disease. Suppose a screening program for the early detection of breast cancer wras started in order to increase the survival rate p of those diagnosed to have the disease. A random sample of 200 women was selected from among those who
were screened by the program and who vwere diagnosed to have the disease. Let x represent the number of those in the sample who survive the disease.
