Suppose that an experiment is performed times. For any event of the sample space, let denote the number of times that event occurs and define. Show that satisfies Axioms.
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
