Q38

A manufacturer has three machine operators A, B and C. The first operator A produces
1% of defective items, whereas the other two operators B and C produces 5% and 7%
defective items respectively. A is on the job for 50% of the time. B on the job 30% of
the time and C on the job for 20% of the time. All the items are put into one stockpile
and then one item is chosen at random.
(a) What is the probability of getting a defective item?
(b) If the item so chosen is found to be defective. What is the probability that it
was produced by B?
