Two players, A and B alternately and independently flip a coin and the first one who flip a head on top will win. Assume player A flips first. If the coin is fair, what is the probability that A wins?If A tossed N+1 times, B tossed N times, what’s the probability that A gets more heads than B?If A and B each tosses a fair coin N times. Find the probability that they get the same number of heads.

Two players, A and B alternately and independently flip a coin and the first one who flip a head on top will win. Assume player A flips first. If the coin is fair, what is the probability that A wins?

If A tossed N+1 times, B tossed N times, what’s the probability that A gets more heads than B?

An experiment is to flip a coin until a head appears for the first time. Assume the coin may be biased, i.e., assume that the probability the coin turns up heads on a flip is a constant p (0 < p < 1). Let X be the random variable that counts the number of flips needed to see the first head. (a) Let k ≥ 1 be an integer. Compute the probability mass function (pmf) p(k) = P(X = k)....

Q1. Consider the following game. Two players simultaneously and independently choose one of three venues. They would like to choose the same venue (i.e. meet), but their favorite venues are different: Football cafe ballet Football (3,2) (1,0) (1,1) cafe (0,0) (2,2) (0,1) ballet (0,0) (0,0) (2,3) a. What are the pure-strategy Nash equilibria of this game? b. Derive a mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium in which players 1 and 2 mix over Football and Cafe only? Now suppose that player 1 is...

Two tennis players, A and B, are playing in a tournament; the first person to win 3 sets is declared the winner of the match (best of 5. no ties allowed) Assume that A is stronger and wins each set with probability of 0.6 and the outcome of each set is independent of other sets. a.) What is the probability player A will win the match? (With explanation) b.) Let A and B be events such that P(A) = 0.45,...

Would you flip a coin for the chance of winning two dollars? What if you were given a dollar and offered the chance to flip a coin to either gain a second dollar or lose the first? Which wager seems more appealing—the first or the second? Far more people choose the first wager than the second. Both scenarios have exactly the same probability of outcomes: a 50% chance of ending up with nothing, and a 50% chance of ending up...
