Answer

$P(at~least~one~test~will~not~be~positive)=0.113615$

Work Step by Step

The event "at least one test will not be positive" is the complement of "all 12 tests will be positive". So, we use the Complement Rule (see page 275): $P(at~least~one~test~will~not~be~positive)=$ $=1-P(all~12~tests~will~be~positive)=1-0.886385=0.113615$
