4.20. A gambling book recommends the following "winning strategy" for the game of roulette: Bet on red. If red appears (which has probability ), then take the profit and quit. If red does not appear and you lose this bet (which has probability of occurring), make additional bets on red on each of the next two spins of the roulette wheel and then quit. Let denote your winnings when you quit.
(a) Find .
(b) Are you convinced that the strategy is indeed a "winning" strategy? Explain your answer!
(c) Find .
In response to an attack of missiles, antiballistic missiles are launched. The missile targets of the antiballistic missiles are independent, and each antiballstic missile is equally likely to go towards any of the target missiles. If each antiballistic missile independently hits its target with probability . use the Poisson paradigm to approximate the probability that all missiles are hit.
In Problem , let team number be the team with the worst record, let team number be the team with the second-worst record, and so on. Let denote the team that gets the draft pick number . (Thus, if the first ball chosen belongs to team number .) Find the probability mass function of

(b)
(c).
Suppose that it takes at least votes from a - member jury to convict a defendant. Suppose also that the probability that a juror votes a guilty person innocent is whereas the probability that the juror votes an innocent person guilty is If each juror acts independently and if percent of the defendants are guilty, find the probability that the jury renders a correct decision. What percentage of defendants is convicted?
An urn initially contains one red and one blue ball. At each stage, a ball is randomly chosen and then replaced along with another of the same color. Let X denote the selection number of the 铿乺st chosen ball that is blue. For instance, if the 铿乺st selection is red and the second blue, then X is equal to .
