Question 1150676: Albert is undecided as to whether take a Mathematics subject or an Accounting subject. He estimates that his probability of receiving an A grade would be 1/3 in the Mathematics subject and 2/3 in the Accounting subject. If he decides to base his decision (to take which subject) on the flip of a fair coin, what is the probability that he gets an A grade in the Accounting subject?

The probability that he takes accounting is 1/2 since it will be based on a coin flip. Therefore, the probability that he takes accounting and gets an A is (1/2)*(2/3) = 1/3
