Two teams play a series of games until one of the teams wins n
games. In every game, both teams have equal chances of winning and
there are no draws. Compute the expected number of the games played
when (a) n = 2; (b) n = 3. (To keep track of what you are doing, it
can be easier to use different letters for the probabilities of win
for the two teams).

Suppose that two teams (for fun, let’s call them the Domestic
Shorthairs and Cache Cows) play a
series of games to determine a winner. In a best-of-three series,
the games end as soon as one
team has won two games. In a best-of-five series, the games end as
soon as one team has won
three games, and so on. Assume that the Domestic Shorthair’s
probability of winning any one
game is p, where .5 < p < 1. (Notice that...
