The finish of a hole depends on the edge of the bit used, only 1% of the holes with a new drill have an irregular cut, 3% have an irregular cut with average bits and 5% present irregular cut with worn bits. If 25% of the holes are made with new bits, 60% have average edges and 15% are worn out. [use 3 decimal places] a) If a piece is taken at random, what is the probability of having holes irregular? b) If a piece with irregular holes is taken, what is the probability that would have been made with an average drill bit?
