Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets a 5 or 6, she tosses a coin three times and notes the numbers of heads. If she gets 1,2,3, or 4, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a head or a tail is obtained. If she attained exactly one head what is the probability that she threw 1,2,3, or 4 with the die?

There are three coins. One of the two headed coin another is a biased coin that comes up heads 75% of the times and the third is also a biased coin tht comes up tails 40% of the times. One of the three coins is chosen at random and tossed, and it shows head. what is the probability that it is a two headed coin?
