Question:

A factory produces certain type of output by 3 machines. The respective daily production figures are- machine X : 4500 units, machine Y: 2000 units and machine Z: 3500 units. Past experience shows that 2% of the output produced by machine X is defective. The corresponding fractions of defectives for the other two machines are 5 and 10 percent respectively. An item is drawn from the day's production. If the drawn item is found to be defective, what is the probability that it has been produced by machine Y?
