Question 437412: As items come to the end of a production line, an inspector chooses which items are to go through a complete inspection. Five percent of all items produces are defective.
Seventy percent of all defective items go through a complete inspection and twenty percent of all good items go through a complete inspection. If an item goes through a complete inspection, what is the probability it is not defective?

.7 * .05 = .035 defective get complete inspection.
.2 * .95 = .19 non-defective get complete inspection.

.035+.19=.225
.
.19/.225 = .844 Probability it is not defective.
