The length of a piece varies according to the machine that produces it, machine A produces 1.5% of pieces out of tolerance, machine B 3% and machine C 4%. If 30% of the parts are manufactured by machine A, 60% by machine B and 10% by machine C. a) What is the probability of having parts out of tolerance? b) What is the probability that a defective part was manufactured with machine C?
