A seed-packaging company purchased 40% of its bean seeds from supplier A and 60% from supplier B and mixes these seeds together. a) Find the probability P(G) that a seed selected at random from the mixed seeds will germinate. b) Given that a seed germinates, find the probability that the seed was purchased from supplier A.
