    Question

    Flip two pure coins independently. We call the following two events A and B:).
    * A = Coint on the first toss. * B = Both rolls give the same outcome.  What then is the probability P(B)?


    1. FALSE: P (B|A) = 0.125
    2. FALSE: P (B|A) = 0.25
    3. TRUE: P (B|A) = 0.50
    4. FALSE: P (B|A) = 1

    1. P (B|A) = 0.125: Incorrect
    2. P (B|A) = 0,25: Incorrect
    3. P (B|A) = 0.50: Correct
    4. P (B|A) = 1: Incorrect
