Components arriving at a distributor are checked for defects by two different inspectors (each component is checked by both inspectors). The first inspector detects 96% of all defectives that are present, and the second inspector does likewise. At least one inspector does not detect a defect on 8% of all defective components. What is the probability that the following occur?   (a) A defective component will be detected only by the first inspector? A defective component will be detected by exactly one of the two inspectors?   (b) All three defective components in a batch escape detection by both inspectors (assuming inspections of different components are independent of one another)?
