Jerry is a trickster. He managed to create a coin which has probability of coming up H is p = 0.5304 on the first toss but on the second toss the coin favors the outcome that occurred on the first toss. In particular, the coin is such that whichever side came up on the first toss is 5 times more probable than the other side on the second toss. Define the random variable X to be "the number of times the coin comes up H when tossed twice". Enter below the value of the probability P(X=1).
