Assume that the probability of a patient having a heart attack is $40 \%$. It is also assumed that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of a heart attack by $30 \%$ and the prescription of a certain drug reduces its risk by $25 \%$. $A$ patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probability. Given that a patient selected at random suffers a heart attack after choosing one of the two options,find the probability that the patient followed the course of meditation and yoga.

$A$ factory has a total of three manufacturing units,$M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$,which produce bulbs independently. The units $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$ produce bulbs in the proportions of $2: 2: 1$,respectively. It is known that $20\%$ of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that,of all the bulbs produced by $M_1, 15\%$ are defective. Suppose that,if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective,the probability that it was produced by $M_2$ is $\frac{2}{5}$. If a bulb is chosen randomly from the bulbs produced by $M_3$,then the probability that it is defective is $.....$ .
