A lightbulb manufacturer ships large consignments of lightbulbs to big industrial users. When the production process is functioning correctly, which is 90% of the time, 10% of all bulbs produced are defective. However, the process is susceptible to an occasional malfunction, leading to a defective rate of 30%. If a defective bulb is found, what is the probability that the process is functioning correctly? If a nondefective bulb is found, what is the probability that the process is operating correctly? If a defective bulb is found, the probability that the process is functioning correctly is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
