Question

Problem 8. A bag contains three coins. They are almost identical, except that one is a fair coin that lands heads 50% of the time, one is a biased coin that lands heads 75% of the time, and the last coin has two heads sides (so it lands heads 100% of the time). Alys closes her eyes, picks a coin out of the bag at random, and flips it. She then opens her eyes and sees that it landed heads. What is the probability that the other side of this coin is also heads? Explain.
