c
Independent Jeffreys priors and the two independent binomial distribution likelihood factors give, by Beta-binomial conjugacy,
pM​∣D∼Beta(7/2,3/2),pT​∣D∼Beta(3/2,7/2).​
(1)
The Bayesian posteriors remain independent because each observation factor involves only its own probability. Their posterior means are respectively 0.7 and 0.3. Notice that pT​ is the probability of saying milk first when tea was first, rather than the probability of a correct tea identification.
