MCS 256 Problem Set 8
- Countably infinite sample spaces
- Two fair (unloaded) dice are rolled repeatedly
until a total of eight spots comes up.
What is the probability that this first happens on an
even-numbered roll?
- A fair coin is flipped repeatedly until
heads comes up.
What is the probability that this first happens
on roll 3 or 6 or 9 or ..., i.e.,
a roll number divisible by 3.
