In a certain factory, machines 1, 2 and 3 are all producing springs of the same length. Machine 1 produces 2% defective springs, machine 2 produces 1% defective springs and machine 3 produces 3% defective springs. Of the total production of springs in the factory, machine 1 produces 35%, machine 2 produces 25% and machine 3 produces 40%. A) Of the total springs produced in a day, what percent are defective? B) Suppose a spring is randomly selected and found to be defective. What is the probability that it came from machine 3?
