John decides to play coin with his friend. However, John knows that his friend has a forged coin and 85% of the time the friend uses that forged coin. If a forged coin is used, the probability of getting tail will be 60% for a toss; If a fair coin is used instead, the probability of getting a tail will be 50%.

  • What is the probability that this time the friend is using a forged coin and gets a tail on the first toss?
  • What is the probability of getting a tail on the first toss?
  • If the first toss gives a tail, what is the probability that the friend is using a forged coin?
  • If the first toss gives a head, what is the probability that the friend is using a forged coin?
