(a) A gambler has a fair coin and a two-headed coin in his pocket. He selects one of the coins at random; when he flips it, it shows heads. What is the probability that it is the fair coin?

(b) Suppose that he flips the same coin a second time and, again, it shows heads. Now what is the probability that it is the fair coin?

(c) Suppose that he flips the same coin a third time and it shows tails. Now what is the probability that it is the fail-coin?
