Probablity of A speaking truth `P(Tr)= 4/5`
Probablity of A speaking lie`P(L)= 1-4/5 = 1/5`
Probablity of appearing head `P(H) = 1/2`
Probablity of appearing tail`P(T) = 1/2`
Probablity of A reporting truth when head appears,
`P(Tr/H) = (P(Tr)P(H))/(P(Tr)P(H)+P(L)P(H)“=(4/5**1/2)/((4/5**1/2)+(1/5**1/2))“=(2/5)/(2/5+1/10) =4/5`
