Solution: Fasteners used in aircraft manufacturing are

Chapter 2, Problem 2.99

(choose chapter or problem)

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 salvaged 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? b. Given that a fastener passed inspection, what is the probability that it passed the initial inspection and did not need recrimping?
