In a bolt factory, machines A, B and C manufacture respectively, 25%, 35% and 40% of the total bolts. Of their output 5, 4, and 2 percent are respectively defective bolts. A bolt is drawn at random from the product. If the bolt drawn is found to be defective, what is the probability that it is manufactured by the machine B?
Let E1, E2, E3 and A be the events defined as follows:
E1 = the bolt is manufactured by machine A,
E2 = the bolt is manufactured by machine B,
E3 = the bolt is manufactured by machine C.
A = the bolt is defective.
Then, P(E1) = Probability that the bolt drawn is manufactured by machine A = 25/100
P(E2) = Probability that the bolt drawn is manufactured by machine B = 35/100
P(E3) = Probability that the bolt drawn manufactured by machine C = 40/100
