Consider two urns. The first one has two white balls and seven black balls and the second has seven white balls and five black balls. A biased coin such that P(H) = } and P(T) = (H = heads, T = tails) is flipped and if heads comes up a ball is drawn from the first urn while if the coin shows tails then a ball is drawn from the second urn. Given that a white ball has been drawn, what is the probability that the outcome of your coin toss was head? %3D
