Question
Three different machines M1, M2, and M3 are used to produce similar electronic components. Machines M1, M2, and M3 produce 20%, 30% and 50% of the components respectively. It is known that the probabilities that the machines produce defective components are 1% for M1, 2% for M2, and 3% for M3. If a component is selected randomly from a large batch, and that component is defective, find the probability that it was produced: (a) by M2, and (b) by M3.
