A company has three machines that produce a component. Machine A produces 40% of the components. Machine B produces 35% of the components and machine C produces 25% of the components.
If a component is produced by machine A the chance that it will be faulty is 3%. If a component is produced by machine B the chance that it will be faulty is 2%. If a component is produced by machine C the chance that it will be faulty is 1%.
Draw a tree diagram to show this information.
