A man possesses five coins, two of which are double-headed, one is double tailed, and two are normal fair coins. He shuts his eyes, picks a coin at random, and tosses it. (d) He opens his eyes and sees that the coin is showing heads. What is the probability that the lower face is a head? (e) He discards this coin, picks another one at random (but not the same coin), and tosses it. What is the probability that it shows heads?
