(a). An agricultural engineer must decide what type of tillage method to adopt for optimum soil structire for seedbed and root bed, manage plant residue and reduce soil erosion. If he uses primary tillage type, he has 80% chance for optimum soil performance. If he uses secondary tillage type, he has 50% chance for optimum soil performance. If he uses cultivation tillage type, he has 30% chance for optimum soil performance. According to the soil condition obtained from preliminary investigation, there are only 20%, 50% and 30% chances of applying primary, secondary and cultivation tillage operations on the land, respectively. If the engineer decides to use all three tillage types on the land, determine the chance for optimum soil structure for seedbed and root bed preparation. Also, determine the chance of using primary tillage type alone when the soil performance was optimum.
