A biased coin, twice as likely to come up as tails, is tossed once. If it shows heads a chip is drawn from an urn I which contains 3 white chips and 4 red chips; if it shows tails a chip is drawn form urn II, which contains 6 white chips and 3 red chips. Given that a white chip is drawn, what is the probability that the coin came up tails. a)7/16. b) 7/9. c)32/63
