1) Two teams, A and B, are playing a best of 5 game series. (The series is over once one team wins 3 games). The probability of A winning any given game is 0.6. Draw the tree diagram for all possible outcomes of the series.

2) List all possible combinations of rolling a 4-sided die (d4) and a 6-sided die (d6) (enumaration). Also determine the probability X {1..6} where X is the largest of the two numbers. Two players, A and B, are playing a game of dice. Player A rolls a d4 and a d6 and takes the largest of the two numbers (i.e. problem #2) Player B rolls a 6-sided die and adds one to the total. Player A wins on ties.

3) What is the conditional probability Player A wins given B's score is 3 (B rolled a 2)

4) What is the probability that player A will win any given game?

Two teams, the Exponents and the Radicals, square off in a best of 5 math hockey tournament. Once a team wins 3 games, the tournament is over. The schedule of the tournament (for home games) goes: E-R-E-R-E If the Exponents are playing at home, there is a 60% chance they'll win. If they are playing on the road, there is a 45% chance they'll win. Find the probability that the Exponents win the series. Round answers to at least 4...

Two players (player A and player B) are playing a game against each other repeatedly until one is bankrupt. When a player wins a game they take $1 from the other player. All plays of the game are independent and identical. Suppose player A starts with $6 and player B starts with $6. If player A wins a game with probability 0.5, what is the probability the game ends (someone loses all their money) on exactly the 10th play of...
