Best answer
A be the event-coin shows head B be the event-two headed coin shows head. C be the event-biased coin shows head. D be the event-unbiased coin shows head. `P(B/A)=(P(A/B)P(B))/(P(A/B)P(B)+P(A/C)P(C)+P(A/D)P(D))`(BAYES THEOREM) All coins are equally probable `P(B/A)=(1xx1/3)/(1xx1/3+3/4xx1/3+1/3xx1/2)=4/9`
