This is a classic problem of liquid transfer between two containers. Initially, we have 1 liter of wine in one bottle and 1 liter of water in the other bottle.

Step 1: Transfer 1/2 liter of water to the wine bottle.
Wine bottle: 1 liter of wine + 0.5 liters of water
Water bottle: 0.5 liters of water

Step 2: Mix thoroughly.
The wine bottle now contains a mixture that is 1/3 water and 2/3 wine.

Step 3: Transfer 1/2 liter of the mixture back to the water bottle.
Water transferred in: 1/3 * 0.5 = 1/6 liters
Wine transferred in: 2/3 * 0.5 = 1/3 liters

Final contents in the wine bottle:
- Wine: 2/3 liters
- Water: 1/3 liters

Final contents in the water bottle:
- Water: 0.5 + 1/6 = 2/3 liters
- Wine: 1/3 liters

More water is left in the: water bottle (2/3 liters)

Amount of wine left in the: water bottle (1/3 liters)

Therefore, both bottles end up with equal amounts of 'foreign' liquid.

{Answer:} The water bottle has more water left, 2/3 liters of water, and there is 1/3 liters of wine in the water bottle.

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is considered the main infectious disease in Brazilian equine farming, for which there is no effective vaccine or treatment. It is caused by a retrovirus of the genus Lentivirus, which affects horses, donkeys and mules and is transmitted in nature mainly by hematophagous insects of the genus Tabanidae. Researchers analyzed the records of 9,439 equids from Acre, submitted to the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) for equine infectious anemia (EIA), between 1986 and 1996. Of these, 6199 tested positive for equine infectious anemia (EIA) . Knowing that the age of AIE-positive horses follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 5 years and a standard deviation of 1.5 years, determine the expected number of AIE-positive horses in the Acre sample that will be aged less than or equal to 3 years. ATTENTION: Provide the answer to exactly FOUR decimal places.
