Problem of the Month
- See Rules and other Problems on the Blog.
For an example,

There are two coins in a hat.  One coin is fair - its probability of heads is 1/2.  The other coin is not fair, but you're not sure in which direction:  it's either heads with probability 2/3 or tails with probability 2/3.  You select a coin at random from the hat and flip it four times.  All four flips result in tails.  What is the probability that the coin you selected is the fair coin?

 
Dr. David S. Pelland


"But just as much as it is easy to find the differential [derivative] of a given quantity, so it is difficult to find the integral of a given differential. " -- Johann Bernoulli
