Alice and Bob play some game against each other. The probability that Alice wins one game is $p$. Assume that each game is independent.
If Alice wins $n$ games before Bob wins $m$ games, then Alice becomes the champion of the game. What is the probability that Alice becomes the champion.
Consider an infinite series of events of rolling a fair six-sided die. Assume that each event is independent of each other. For each of the below, determine its probability.
(1) At least one die lands on the face 5 in the first $n$ rolls. (2) Exactly $k$ dice land on the face 5 in the first $n \geq k$ rolls. (3) Every die roll results in the face 5.
Suppose that three fair coins are tossed. Let $H_1$ be the event that the first coin lands heads and let $H_2$ be the event that the second coin lands heads. Also, let $E$ be the event that exactly two coins lands heads in a row.
For each pair of these events, determine whether they are independent or not.
