Consider the sequence of Stern-Gerlach devices in the figure. Suppose that an electron entering the last device emerges from the + or - channel with probabilities 4/5 and 1/5, respectively. What are the two distinct angles theta between -180o and +180o that are consistent with these results? (Hint: the answer is +/- 127o)
