Consider Example, which is concerned with the number of runs of wins obtained whenwins and losses are randomly permuted. Now consider the total number of runs—that is, win runs plus loss runs—and show that

1. A cafeteria offers a three-course meal consisting of an entree, a starch, and a dessert. The possible choices are given in the following table:
| Course | Choices |
| Entree | Chicken or roast beef |
| Starch | Pasta or rice or potatoes |
| Dessert | Ice cream or Jello or apple pie or a peach |
A person is to choose one course from each category.
How many outcomes are in the sample space?
Let be the event that ice cream is chosen. How many outcomes are in
Let be the event that chicken is chosen. How many outcomes are in
List all the outcomes in the event
Letbe the event that rice is chosen. How many outcomes are in

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
