To solve the problem step by step, we will use Bayes' theorem to find the probability that the coin chosen was the two-headed coin given that the outcome of the toss was heads. ### Step 1: Define the Events Let: - \( C_1 \): Event that the two-headed coin is chosen. - \( C_2 \): Event that the biased coin is chosen. - \( C_3 \): Event that the unbiased coin is chosen. - \( H \): Event that the outcome of the toss is heads. ...
