Three machines `E_1, E_2, E_3` in a certain factory produce 50%, 25% and 25% respectively of the total daily output of electric tubes. It is known that 4% of the tubes produced by each of machines `E_1 and E_2` are defective, and that 5% of those produced on `E_3` are defective. If one tube is picked up at random from a day's production, calculate the probability that it is defective.
