Question

Q: Suppose that a biased coin that lands on heads with probability p is flipped 10 times. Given that a total of 7 heads results, find the conditional probability that the first 3 outcomes are h, t, h (meaning that the first flip results in heads, the second in tails, and the third in tails).
