Answer:
a) 0.3246
b) 0.0043
Step-by-step explanation:
- For player 1 ; Probability of winning = P(W) = 1/3
- Probability of loosing; P(winning) + P( Loosing) = 1
a) To find Find P(N <= 10) = P(2)+P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)
= (1/3)^2 + (1/3)^2 x 2/3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^2 + (1/3)^2x (2/3)^3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^4
X (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^5 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^6 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^7 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8
= 0.3246
b) Find P(N = 10) = (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8 = 0.0043
Simplify both sides then isolate the variable
t=10
All you have to do is divide 7 by 8 (so 7/8) and you get the answer: 0.875! hope that helps! :)
