I have a problem statement of probability for which i have to display the solution in R programming language or Matlab... Any help will be very beneficial for me as i am unable to find the correct code to display the solution.. Please help

There are two coins. One is fair; the other is two-headed. You randomly choose a coin and toss it.

(a) What is the probability the coin lands Heads?

(b) What is the probability the coin is two-headed given that it landed Heads?

(c) What is the probability the coin is two-headed given that it landed Tails? Give a formal proof, not intuition.

(d) You are about to toss the coin a second time. What is the probability that the second toss lands Heads

given that the first toss landed Heads?

I will be very thankful if i get the solution..!!

These are mathematics questions, not programming.

Solution 1

We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.

Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!

Start by working out how you would do it without a computer, and then think about how to translate that into code.
