(The Laplace's rule of succession)There are K+1 coins in a box. When flipped, the ith coin will turn up heads with the probability, i = 0,1,.., k.A coin is randomly selected from the box and is then repeatedly flipped. If the first n flips all result in heads,what is the conditional probability that the (n + 1)st flip will do likewise?

An:First n flips all results in heads An+1:At n+1thflips all result in heads.

Answered: There are K + 1 coins in a box. When…
