A quality control engineer believes that the proportion of defective items in a production process is a random variable with a probability distribution that is approximated as follows:

x 0.1	P (x) 0.1
0.2	0.3
0.3	0.2
0.4	0.2
0.5	0.1
0.6	0.1

The engineer collects a random sample of items and ?nds that 5 out of the 16 items in the sample are defective. Find the engineer's posterior probability distribution of the proportion of defective items.
