heads.
a) What is the probability of getting exactly 3 heads ? b) Suppose
you are told that the first flip came up heads. How would you update
your probability of getting exactly 3 heads ? c) What is the
probability of the first flip being a head if you are told that the
total number of heads was 3 ?

Conducting a Simulation
For example, say we want to simulate the probability of getting
“heads” exactly 4 times in 10 flips of a fair coin.
One way to generate a flip of the coin is to create a vector in
R with all of the possible outcomes and then randomly select one of
those outcomes. The sample function takes a vector of elements (in
this case heads or tails) and chooses a random sample of size
elements.
