In the process of meiosis, a single parent diploid cell goes through 8 different phases. However, only \( 61 \% \) of the processes pass the first 6 phases and only 39\% pass all 8. Assume the results from each phase are independent. (a) If the probability of a successful pass of each one of the first 6 phases is constant, what is the probability of a successful pass of a single 1 of these phases? (b) If the probability of a successful pass of each one of the last 2 phases is constant, what is the probability of a successful pass of a single 1 of these phases? Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 0.987).
