We have a coin with an unknown probability of showing head. We denote this unknown probability by X X and we know that the pdf of X X is given by f X (p)= p α−1 (1−p) β−1 B(α,β) , fX(p)=pα-1(1-p)β-1B(α,β), where B(α,β)= Γ(α)Γ(β) Γ(α+β) B(α,β)=Γ(α)Γ(β)Γ(α+β) , and Γ(n)=(n−1)! Γ(n)=(n-1)! if n n is a positive integer. We toss the coin 5 5 times. Let α=2 α=2 and β=2 β=2 . What is the probability that we observe 4 4 heads?

A box contains five coins. For each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed. (Some of the coins are not fair coins!) Let pi denote the probability of a head when the i th coin is tossed (i = 1, . . . , 5), and suppose that p1 = 0, p2 =1/4, p3 =1/2, p4 =3/4, p5 =1. The experiment we are interested in consists in selecting at random...
