A company uses three machines for production. For each machine the number of flaws in a produced item is poisson distributed. Machine A produces 55% of everything and has an average of 1/1000 flaws per item. Machine B produces 30% of everything and has an average of 3/1000 flaws. Machine C produces 15% of everything and has an average of 3/500 flaws. At the end all produced items get mixed up and we randomly select one. (a) What is the expected number of flaws on that item? (b) What is the probability that the selected item has at least one flaw? (Round to 5 decimal places)
