Peter tries to avoid going to a party which he was invited to. To justify his absence he flips a coin and if the coin shows heads he goes. Otherwise, he rolls a die to give the party yet another chance. If the die lands on 6, he goes. Otherwise, he stays home. If Peter ends up being at the party, what is the probability that the coin he flipped showed Heads? Please keep conditional probability in mind when answering this question
