A weld inspection method has a 90% probability of detection of a defect in a welded joint that contacts such a defect, and a 5% false detection probability, that is, the probability of detecting a defect in a joint that does not contain such a defect. Assume a 5% probability of a joint containing a defect.

What is the probability of finding a defect in a joint during inspection? What is the probability of a false detection during inspection? Assume that an inspection crew screens 100 joints per day. On the average,
