A coin is tossed repeatedly; on each toss, a head is shown with probability p or a tail with probability 1 − p. All tosses are independent. Let E denote the event that the first run of r successive heads occurs earlier than the first run of s successive tails. Let A denote the outcome of the first toss. Show that P(E|A=head)=pr−1 +(1−pr−1)P(E|A=tail). Find a similar expression for P (E | A = tail) and then find P (E).

In a coin game, you repeatedly toss a biased coin (0.75 for head, 0.25 for tail). Each head represent 3 points and tail represents 1 points. You can either Toss or Stop if the total number of points you have tossed is no more than 7. Otherwise, you must Stop. When you Stop, your utility is equal to your total points (up to 7), or zero if you get a total of 8 or higher. When you Toss, you receive...
