The probability of heads is 0.999*0.5 + 0.001*1 = 0.5005
The important thing is that as you observe heads from the coin, you learn something about the coin. As you observe more heads it is less likely to be a fair coin and more likely to be the coin with double heads. This doesn't change anything about the coin, but it changes something about what you know about the coin. See here for the correct answer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7000523 |
