Rock smashes scissors Almost everyone has played the game rock-paper-scissors at some point. Two players face each other and, at the count of 3, make a fist (rock), an extended hand, palm side down (paper), or a 鈥淰鈥 with the index and middle fingers (scissors). The winner is determined by these rules: rock smashes scissors; paper covers rock; and scissors cut paper. If both players choose the same object, then the game is a tie. Suppose that Player 1and Player 2 are both equally likely to choose rock, paper, or scissors. a. Give a probability model for this chance process. b. Find the probability that Player 1wins the game on the first throw .
