Question

Human visual inspection of solder joints on printed circuit boards can be very subjective. Part of the problem stems from the numerous types of solder defects (e.g., pad non-wetting, knee visibility, voids) and even the degree to which a joint possesses one or more of these defects. Consequently, even highly trained inspectors can disagree on the disposition of a particular joint. In one batch of 10,000 joints, inspector A found 738 that were judged defective, inspector B found 735 such joints, and 1206 of the joints were judged defective by at least one of the inspectors. Suppose that one of the 10,000 joints is randomly selected (a) What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors? (Enter your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A? (Enter your answer to four decimal places.) Need Help?Read It Talk to a Tutor

Explanation / Answer

a) probabiloity that selected joint was judged to be defective by neither =(10000-1206)/10000=0.8794

b)

probability that selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A =(1206-738)/10000

=0.0468
