Composite sampling is a way to reduce laboratory testing


Composite sampling is a way to reduce laboratory testing costs. A public health department is testing for possible fecal contamination in public swimming pools. In this case, water samples from 5 pools are combined for one test, and further testing is performed only if the combined sample shows fecal contamination. Based on past experience, there is a 3% chance of finding fecal contamination in a public swimming area. What is the probability that a combined sample from 5 swimming pools has fecal contamination? Recall that P(A) +P(not A) = 1.0.
