a pair of dice are rolled and if the sum is a 5, Derek gets a
point; if the sum is a 6, Ker gets a point; if the sum is a 7, Gary
gets a point. if the sum is some other value, no one gets a
point.
(a)
if the dice are rolled until Gary gets 4 points, find the
probability Derek gets exactly 2 points.
(b)
if the dice are rolled until Gary gets 4 points, find the
probability that exactly 12 rolls are required.
(c)
If the dice are rolled until any one of the players gets a single
point, what is the probability the player getting the point is
Ker?
(d)
what is the expected number of rolls required before the first
point is given?
