Engineers in charge of maintaining our nuclear fleet must continually check for corrosioninside the pipes that are part of the cooling systems. The inside condition of the pipes cannotbe observed directly but a non-destructive test can give an indication of possible corrosion.This test not infallible. The test has probability 0.9 of detecting corrosion when it is presentbut it also has probability 0.1 of falsely indicating internal corrosion. Suppose the probabilitythat any section of pipe has internal corrosion is 0.1. What is the probability that a section ofpipe has internal corrosion?
