A bag of candy is filled with red and white jelly beans. The color of each jelly bean is independent, and the probability of pulling out a red jelly bean is p, while the probability of pulling out a white jelly bean is 1-p. We have no idea what pis, so we model it as a uniformly distributed random variable P, f1, 05p<1 0, otherwise. We pull out a jelly bean and see that it is red. How does this obser- vation change the pdf for P?
