    1. Find each probability of:
    i. Item is from X and is defective.
    ii. Item is from Y and is defective.
    iii. Item is from Z and is defective.

    Add them up.

    2. Divide the probability of I by the total you got in 1. to get the probability that it came from X. Do the same for the others.
