Two boxes each contain long and short bolts. Box 1 contains 60 long and 40 short bolts, while box 2 contains 10 long and 20 short bolts. One box is selected at random and one bolt is then chosen from the selected box. a. Find the probability the chosen bolt is long. b. Given that the chosen bolt was long, find the probability that box 1 was selected.
