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

A box contains N coins, m of wiich are fair and the rest are biased. The probability of getting a head when a fair coin is tossed is 1/2, while it is 2/3 when a biased coin is tossed. A coin is drawn from the box at random and is tossed twice. The first time it shows head and the second time it shows tail. What is the probability that the coin drawn is fair ?
