Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from four people are combined andthe mixture tests negative, then all four samples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always testpositive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positiveis 0.15, find the probability of a positive result for four samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough sothat further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?The probability of a positive test result is(Round to three decimal places as needed.)Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?A. The probability is low, so further testing will be necessary for all of the combined mixtures.B. The probability is not low, so further testing will not be necessary for any of the mixtures.C. The probability is low, so further testing of the individual samples will be a rarely necessary event.D. The probability is not low, so further testing of the individual samples will frequently be a necessary event.
