A company that produces a particular machine component has 3 factories, one each in Buffalo, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. 46% of the components produced come from the Buffalo factory, 31% of the components come from the Detroit factory, and 23% of the components come from the Pittsburgh factory. It is known that 0.7% of the components from the Buffalo factory, 1.0% of the components from the Detroit factory, and 0.9% of the components from the Pittsburgh factory are defective.
