This involves the flipping of either a fair or weighted coin. Assume that the weighted coin yields a heads with probability of .65. You select one of the two coins at random, and flip it 3 times noting heads or tails with each flip. - What is the probability that the weighted coin was selected, given that all 3 flips turned up heads?
