    3- A study was conducted in 1997 to measure the total fat content, calories, and sodium
    content of vegetable burgers available at supermarkets and commonly used as meat
    substitute. Measurements on 54 deferent brands of "veggie burgers", and the results
    were used to develop the 3-way contingency table below.

    Define the following events:


    A= {Under 130 Calories}
    B= {320 g Sodium or More}
    C= {Over 4 g Total Fat}
    A vegetable burger is selected randomly from the group. Find the following

    5. A desk lamp produced by The Luminar Company was found to be defective (D). There
    are three factories (A, B, C) where such desk lamps are manufactured. A Quality Control
    Manager (QCM) is responsible for investigating the source of found defects. This is what
    the QCM knows about the company's desk lamp production and the possible source of
    defects:

    The QCM would like to answer the following question: If a randomly selected lamp is
    defective, what is the probability that the lamp was manufactured in factory C?
