Integrated circuits undergo two tests. A mechanical test determines whether pins have the correct spacing, and an electrical test checks the relationship of outputs to inputs. We assume that electrical failures and mechanical failures occur independently. Our information about circuit production tells us that mechanical failures occur with probability 0.05 and electrical failures occur with probability 0.2. Find the probability that the mechanical test fails while the electrical test will be accepted and the probability when mechanical test will be accepted while electrical test fails?
