7. a) In a post office, three clerks are assigned to process incoming mails. The first
clerk A process 35%, the second clerk B process 37%, and the third clerk C
process 28% of the mails. The first clerk has an error rate of 0.03, the second
clerk has an error rate of 0.05 and third clerk has an error rate of 0.04. A mail
selected at random from a day’s output is found to have an error. Make use of
Baye’s theorem and compute it was processed by (i) clerk A (ii) clerk C.
