The study found that when presented with prints from the same individual, a fingerprint expert will correctly identify the match 92% of the time. In contrast, a novice will correctly identify the match 75% of the time. Consider a sample of five different pairs of fingerprints, where each pair is a match.
a. What is the probability that an expert will correctly identify the match in all five pairs of fingerprints?
b. What is the probability that a novice will correctly identify the match in all five pairs of fingerprints?
