Light bulbs are usually packed in pairs and the manager of a supermarket knows from experience that the probabilities that such a package will contain 0, 1 or 2 defective bulbs are respectively 0.92, 0.07. 0.01. If he randomly selects a package of bulbs from his shelves and then randomly selects one of the two bulbs and finds that it is defective, what is the probability that the other bulb is also defective?
