Slim and Roy are flipping a unfair coin, where the coin has the chance to land on heads 65% of the time. Every time that the coin lands on heads, Slim gets 500 dollars from Roy, and Roy gets 500 dollars from Slim if the coin lands on tails. If the game is played 100 times (coin is flipped 100 times), what is the probability that Slim's winnings are $20,000 more than Roy's, where 'x' is strictly greater than 20,000 (x > 20,000)?

A game is played by first flipping a fair coin, then rolling a die multiple times. If the coin lands heads, then die A is to be used; if the coin lands tails, then die B is to be used. Die A has 4 red and 2 white faces, whereas die B has 2 red and 4 white faces. If the first two throws result in red, what is the probability that the coin landed on heads?

A certain “unfair” coin is one where the probability of a head showing when flipped is 0.35 and the probability of a tail showing is 0.65. An experiment consists of flipping 8 of these “unfair” coins. Let the random variable x be the number of tails showing. Determine the probability of 3 of the 8 coins showing tails.
