A computer producing factory has only two plants T_(1) "and" T_(2) "Plant" T_(1) produces 20% and plant T_(2) produced 80% of the total computers produced. 7% of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that P (computer turns out to be defective, given that it is produced in plant T_(1) = 10 P (computer turns out to be defective, given that it is produced in plant T_(2) )where P(E) denptes the probability of an event E. A computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it does not turn out to be defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant T_(2) is
