Probability of Tom throwing a ‘8’ in First throw = P(E1) = 5/36 And Probability of Tom throwing a ‘8’ in third throw = P(¯E1 ∩ ¯E2 ∩ E1 ) = P(¯E1) × P(¯E2) × P(E1) = 31/36 × 5/6 ×5/36 Similarly, Probability of Tom throwing a ‘8’ in fifth throw = P(¯E1) × P(¯E2) × P(¯E1) × P(¯E2) × P(E1) = (31/36)^2×(5/6)² ×5/36 Hence, Probability of winning of Tom = P[E1∪(¯E1 ∩ ¯E2 ∩ E1)∪ (¯E1∩ ¯E2 ∩ ¯E1∩¯E2∩ E1)∪……. ] = P[E1+(¯E1 ∩ ¯E2 ∩ E1)+ (¯E1∩ ¯E2 ∩ ¯E1∩¯E2∩ E1)+⋯…. ] Sum of n terms of Geometric Progression , if r < 1 = a/(1-r) ∴ Probability of winning of Tom = (5/36)/(1-(31/36 × 5/6)) = 30/61 Thus, Probability of winning of Jerry = 1 - 30/61 = 31/61
