I have two types of coins, one is fair(0.5 chance to fall on H), and the other is biased(0.7 chance for H). I have a coin, and I need to determine, based on a 100 flips - which type is my coin.
the hypothesis is that the coin is fair only if it fell on heads no more than 62 times out of 100.
what are the chances that I got to the wrong conclusion and the coin is fair?
what are the chances I got to the wrong conclusion and the coin is unfair?
I tried to calculate the chances but I got some prety ugly numbers...

Essentially, the upper tail (K > 62) of the head-distribution of the fair coin (P(head) = 0.5) gives you the probability that a fair coin is falsely labeled as biased while the lower tail (K <= 62) of the head-distribution of the biased coin gives you the probability that a biased coin will be falsely labeled as fair.

Based on your comment, you're nearly correct for the first one, you just need to subtract the value from $1$ since for having wrong decision if the coin is fair
you need $>62$ heads (let $W$ be having the wrong decision, $F$ be the fact that coin is fair, and $X$ be the number of heads appeared):
$$P(W|F)=1-P(Xleq62|F)=1-sum_k=0^62100 choose k0.5^k0.5^100-k$$
Replicating the analysis for the unfair case:
$$P(W|F')=1-P(X>62|F')=1-sum_k=63^100100 choose k0.7^k0.3^100-k$$
Note: Your seem to ask for "having wrong decision and the coin is fair" for the first one (same situation for your second question), which means $P(Wcap F)$, not $P(W|F)$ as found above. So, if you need $P(Wcap F)=P(W|F)P(F)$, you need to use $P(F)$, which you didn't provide.

This is the binomial distribution. Doing a web search for "binomial calculator" should get an online calculator. You can then enter .5 for probability of success on a single trial for the fair coin, 100 for number of trials, and 62 as number of successes. You can also enter .7 as the probability of success on a single trial for the unfair coin.

"the hypothesis is that the coin is fair only if it fell on heads no more than 62 times out of 100. " This is a strange and unclear hypothesis. What do you mean with this sentence? Maybe you meant something like "the decision rule is to accept the hypothesis that the coin is fair when it fell on heads no more than 62 times out of 100"

"what are the chances that I got to the wrong conclusion and the coin is fair?" You can not compute this with the given information. Did you maybe mean "what are the chances that I got to the wrong conclusion if the coin is fair?"
