Look at 1000 from each machine
====Def======ND===Total
1-----50 ----- 950---- 1000
2---- 30---------970-----1000
3-----40--------960----1000
4-----80--------920----1000
tot--200--------3800---4000
If defective (200) probability it came from machine 2 is 30/200 or 0.15
The probability it did not come from machine 2 is 0.85, the complement
If it is not defective (3800) the probability it was from machine 2 is 970/3800 or 0.255.
