Martin and Gale play an exciting game of "toss the coin," where they toss a fair coin until the pattern HH occurs (two consecutive Heads) or the pattern TH occurs (Tails followed immediately by Heads). Martin wins the game if and only if HH occurs before TH occurs.
Who is less or more likely to win?

The probability of solving a problem by three students X,Y,Z are 1/4,3/7and 2/9 respectively. if all of them try independently then the probability that the problem could not be solved is a)1/3 b)1/4 c)1/5 d) 2/5 e) 3/7
Ans given is 3/7.Mine is 1/3.Approach: P(~X)P(~Y)P(~Z)= 3/4 * 4/7 * 7/9 = 1/3
