Q16] An industrial plant is conducting a study to determine how quickly injured workers are back on the job following injury. Records show that 10% of all injured workers are admitted to the hospital for treatment and 15% are back on the job the next day. In addition, studies show that 2% are both admitted for hospital treatment and back on the job the next day. If a worker is injured, what is the probability that the worker will either be admitted to a hospital or back on the job the next day or both?

Experience has shown that about 6 of every 100 cultures are randomly spoiled by the bacteria. If the experiment requires three simultaneously derived, unspoiled data points for success, we find the probability of success for any given set of 12 cultures (three data points of four cultures each).
