document.write( "Question 1115761: . A company has three machines A, B and C which all produce the same two parts, X and Y. of all the parts produced, machine A produces 60%, machine B produces 30%, and machine C produces the rest. 40% of the parts made by machine A are part X, 50% of the parts made by machine B are part X, and 70% of the parts made by machine C are part X. A part produced by this company is randomly sampled and is determined to be an X part. With the knowledge that it is an X part, find the probabilities that the part came from machine A, B or C. \n" ); document.write( "
