92. Fasteners used in aircraft manufacturing are slightly crimped so that they lock enough to avoid loosening during vibration. Suppose that 95% of all fasteners pass an initial inspection. Of the 5% that fail, 20% are so seriously defective that they must be scrapped. The remaining fasteners are sent to a recrimping operation, where 40% cannot be sal- vaged and are discarded. The other 60% of these fasteners are corrected by the recrimping process and subsequently pass inspection. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected incoming fastener will pass inspection either initially or after recrimping?

Explanation / Answer

probabilty that randomely selected fastener will pass insopection inititally or after recrimping

=P(it passed initially+falied in first test*sent for crimping and passed) =0.95+0.05*0.8*0.6=0.974

b)probabilty that it passed in intitial inspection given it passed inspection =P(passed initially)/P(passed inspection)

=0.95/0.974=0.9754
