A factory uses a specific machine to produce pieces. From previous data, we know that 97% of the time the machine is set up correctly. If this is the case, it produces 95% acceptable (non-defective) pieces. However, if it is not set up correctly, it produces only 40% of acceptable pieces. Q22 A piece produced by the machine is selected. What is the probability that the selected piece is non-defective? Your answer should be in % and have two digits after the period. So, if your answer is 50.002%, enter 50.00. Your Answer:
