Answer:

a. 0.04

b. 0.0136

c. 0.2364

Step-by-step explanation:

a. P(fails both the first and second test)

=P(fails the first test) × P(fails second test)

= (1-P(pass on the first try)) × (1-P(fails on the first try will pass on the second try))

=(1-0.75) × (1-0.84) =0.04

b. P(Fail three times in a row)

= P(fails both the first and second test) × P(fails third test)

=0.04 × (1-P(fails the first and second test will pass the third time))

=0.04 × (1-0.66) = 0.0136

c. P(Require at least two tries)

=P(fails on the first try will pass on the second try) + P(fails the first and second test will pass the third time)

= ( P(fails the first test) × P(passes second test) )+( P(fails both the first and second test) × P(passes third test) )

= (0.25 × 0.84) + (0.04 × 0.66)

= 0.2364
