Q1. Consider the given joint distribution
Calculate the value of P(cavity | ¬ toothache) + P(cavity | catch).
Round the answer up to 2 decimal places. (e.g., if the answer is 0.1372, return 0.14)

Answer: 0.63


Q2. There are 1000 coins — 999 are fair, and 1 has heads on both sides. You randomly choose a coin and flip it 10 times. Miraculously, all 10 flips turn up heads. What is the probability that you chose the unfair coin? If the answer is of the form m/n, where m and n are relatively co-prime, return m+n.

Answer: 3047.0
