Three machines AA, BB, and CC produce 50%50\%, 30%30\%, and 20%20\% of a factory's output, respectively. Their defective rates are 2%2\%, 3%3\%, and 5%5\%, respectively. An item chosen at random from the total output is found to be defective. Using the law of total probability and Bayes' theorem, find the probability that the defective item was produced by machine CC. Round to 3 decimal places (an exact answer is also accepted).
