A jar contains 100 coins. One of the coins is a trick coin with heads on both sides. The other 99 coins are ordinary coins with heads probability .5. A coin is selected at random. (a) What is the probability the coin selected is the trick coin? (b) The coin selected is tossed 7 times, and it happens to land heads each of those times. Now what is the probability it is the trick coin?

Five coins were simultaneously tossed 1000 times and at each toss, the number of heads was observed. The number of tosses during which 0, 1, 2, 4, and 5 heads were obtained are shown in the table below.
