Heart failures are due to either natural occurrences $(87 \%)$ or outside factors $(13 \%) .$ Outside factors are related to induced substances $(73 \%)$ or foreign objects $(27 \%) .$ Natural occurrences are caused by arterial blockage $(56 \%),$ disease $(27 \%),$ and infection (e.g., staph infection) (17\%). (a) Determine the probability that a failure is due to an induced substance (b) Determine the probability that a failure is due to disease or infection.
