To solve the problem, we will use Bayes' theorem, which allows us to find the probability of an event based on prior knowledge of conditions related to the event. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Define Events**: - Let \( C_1 \): the event that the chosen coin is the two-headed coin. - Let \( C_2 \): the event that the chosen coin is the biased coin (75% heads). - Let \( C_3 \): the event that the chosen coin is the unbiased coin (50% heads). ...
