A jury has 16 jurors. A vote of at least 14 of 16 for "guilty" is necessary for a defendant to be convicted of a crime. Assume that each juror acts independently of the others and that the probability that any one juror makes the correct decision on a defendant is 0.900.
If the defendant is guilty, what is the probability that the jury makes the correct decision?

To determine whether or not they have a certain desease, 80
people are to have their blood tested. However, rather than testing
each individual separately, it has been decided first to group the
people in groups of 16. The blood samples of the 16 people in each
group will be pooled and analyzed together. If the test is
negative, one test will suffice for the 16 people (we are assuming
that the pooled test will be positive if and only...

Fan A was at the first game, and witnessed UConn winning. Based
on this information the probability UConn gets into a bowl game is
