Question 745863
There are five coins in a bag. Four of the coins are normal coins and the fifth one is double headed. You pick out a coin randomly and flip the same coin five times and it comes up heads each time. What is the probability the coin lands heads the next time you flip it?
----
# of ways to succeed: 6 heads
# of possible outcomes: 2*5 = 10
---
Note: The "next" flip results are independent of the previous 5 outcomes.
---------------------------------
P(heads) = 6/10 = 3/5
