Let X denote the number of times you have to play a game in order to win once. Assume attempts are independent, and that the chance of winning each time you play is p.
(a) Find the probability that X is even (as a function of p). [Hint: You’ll use a geometric series from calculus.]
(b) What happens to your answer to (a) as p → 1?

You play two games against the same opponent. The probability you win the first game is 0.8. If you win the first game, the probability you also win the second is 0.6. If you lose the first game, the probability that you win the second is 0.4. Complete parts a) through e). a) Are the two games independent? Explain your answer A. Yes; all events are independent. O B. No; the outcome of the first game determines the probability of...

The probability you win a game is 0.40. If you play the game 90 times, what is the most likely number of wins you will get? This is the same is the mean of the binomial distribution with N=90 and p=0.40, and it is also the expected value of playing the game 90 times.

We play a game where we throw a coin at most 4 times. If we get 2 heads at any point, then we win the game. If we do not get 2 heads after 4 tosses, then we loose the game. For example, HT H, is a winning case, while T HT T is a losing one. We define an indicator random variable X as the win from this game. (d) (5 Pts.) On average how many times do you...
