Question:
A thermal power plant has an agreement with three mines M1, M2 and M3 to receive 'Grade 1' coal, in the proportion of 60%, 25% and 15%, respectively. The probabilities that a wagon supplied coal to the plant containing below Grade 1' from mines M1, M2 and M3 are 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04, respectively. On a random check, a sample wagon is found to carry below 'Grade 1' coal. The probability that the wagon belongs to mine M1, is____.(round off up to 2 decimals)
