In a bolt factory, three machines A, B and C produce 25%, 35% and 40% of total output respectively. It was found that 5%,4% and 2% are defective bolts in the production by machines A, B, C respectively. A bolt is chosen at random from the total output and is found to be defective. Find the probability that it is manufactured from (i) Machine A(ii) Machine B (iii) Machine C.

A bag contains 3 red and 4 white balls. Two draws are made without replacement. What is the probability that both balls are red.

The lifetime of a certain kind of batteries has a mean life of 400 hours and the standard deviation as 45 hours. Assuming the distribution of lifetime to be normal, find (i) the percentage of batteries with a lifetime of at least 470 hours (ii) the proportion of batteries with a lifetime between 385 and 415 hours, and (iii) the minimum life of the best 5% of batteries. (𝑃(0 < 𝑧 < 0.33) = 0.1293)
