The positivity rate in a certain group is 3.5%. Determine the probability that a batch will test negative if the batch size is: a) Batch size = 8 b) Batch size = 15

Suppose that we are doing batch testing with batches of size 12. Suppose that the probability that a batch of size 12 tests negative is .655. Determine the expected number (expected value) of tests needed for a group of size 12.
