Three machines E 1, E 2, and E 3, in a certain factory producing electric bulbs, produce 50%, 25% and 25 % respectively, of the total daily output of electric bulbs. It is known that 4% of the bulbs produced by each of machines E 1, and E 2, are defective and that 5% of those produced by machine E 3, are defective. If one bulb is picked up at random from a day's production, then calculate the probability that it is defective.
