(a) He selects one of the coins at random; when he flips it, it shows heads. What is the probability that it is a fair coin? (b) Suppose that he flips the same coin a second time and, again, it shows heads. Now what is the probability that it is the fair coin? (c) Suppose that he flips the same coin a third time and it shows tails. Now what is the probability that it is the fair coin?
