Question 1118589: pplicants who wish to be admitted to a certain professional school in a large university are required to take a screening test devised by an educational testing service. From past results, the testing service has established that 70% of all applicants are eligible for admission and that 91% of those who are eligible for admission pass the exam, whereas 14% of those who are ineligible for admission pass the exam. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
