Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containingwhite, black, and orange balls. Suppose that we win for each black ball selected and we lose for each white ball selected. Let denote our winnings. What are the possible values of , and what are the probabilities associated with each value?
The game of craps is played as follows: A player rolls two dice. If the sum of the dice is either a, the player loses; if the sum is either a or an , the player wins. If the outcome is anything else, the player continues to roll the dice until she rolls either the initial outcome or a . If the comes first, the player loses, whereas if the initial outcome reoccurs before the appears, the player wins. Compute the probability of a player winning at craps.
Hint: Let denote the event that the initial outcome is and the player wins. The desired probability is . To compute , define the events to be the event that the initial sum is i and the player wins on the nth roll. Argue that
