1.4.8. In a certain factory, machines I, II, and III are all producing springs of the same length. Machines I, II, and III produce 1%, 4%, and 2% defective springs, respectively. Of the total production of springs in the factory, Machine I produces 30%, Machine II produces 25%, and Machine III produces 45%. (a) If one spring is selected at random from the total springs produced in a given day, determine the probability that it is defective. (b) Given that the selected spring is defective, find the conditional probability that it was produced by Machine II.
