Suppose a bag contains two coins, one coin is fair, and the other is a two-headed coin (heads on both sides). Suppose Amy randomly selects a coin from the bag, and tosses the selected coin three times (independently). Given that the coin lands H on all three tosses, what is the probability that Amy tossed a fair coin?
