Suppose a box contains 10 coins, where three of them are type-A and seven of them are type-B. The probability of head is 0.4 if

we toss a type-A coin and 0.6 for a type-B coin. One person chooses one coin at random and tosses it three times. What is the probability that this coin is type-A if the outcome is two heads out of three tosses?

Answer:

0.222

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  that:

For Type A coins = 3

The probability of head in a type A coin i.e. (p) = 0.4

Then, the probability of getting a tail (q) = 1 - p = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

For Type B coins = 7

The probability of head in a type B coin i.e. (p) = 0.6

Then, the probability of getting a tail (q) = 1 - p = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

One person who tosses a coin three times get a probability of obtaining a head twice.

Using, the formula:

=^nC_r \times p^r \times q^{n-r}

For Type A coin;

The probability of getting two heads in three tosses is:

= ^3C_2 \times 0.4^2 \times 0.6^{1}

=\dfrac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} \times 0.4^2 \times 0.6^1

= 0.288

For Type B coin;

The probability of getting two heads in three tosses is:

= ^3C_2 \times 0.6^2 \times 0.4^{1}

=\dfrac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} \times 0.6^2 \times 0.4^1

= 0.432

Since we have two heads out of three tosses, the probability that the coin is type A is = (P) of choosing coin A × (P) of obtaining two heads from three tosses) / total probability of getting two heads from three tosses.

However;

(P) of choosing coin A = 3/10 = 0.3

(P) of choosing coin B = 7/10 = 0.7

∴

Given that, we obtain two head from three tosses, the (P) that the coin type is A is:

= \dfrac{(0.3 \times 0.288)}{ (0.3 \times 0.288 + 0.7 \times 0.432)}

= \dfrac{(0.0864)}{ (0.0864 + 0.3024)}

= 0.222
