A manufacturer of medical equipment is concerned about the quality of its valves. Batches of valves are processed by three different departments having rejection rates of 0.05, 0.20, and 0.12, respectively. The inspections by the three departments are sequential and independent. What is the probability that a batch of valves survives the first departmental inspection but is rejected by the second department?
