Updating in two batches gives one answer

You start with a uniform prior pBeta(1,1)p \sim \text{Beta}(1, 1) on a coin's head probability. On Monday you flip 66 times and see 44 heads. On Tuesday you flip 77 more times and see 55 heads.

Give the posterior after each day, and show that batching all 1313 flips at once gives the same result.

Your answer

This one is open-ended. Work it through, then check your reasoning against the full solution.
