jd- Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hi im new to this forum cause im desperate for help :( I have a question that goes like this : 2 players play a series of independent games in which A has probability p, B has probability q = 1-p of winning each game. A needs m games to win the series and B needs n more games to win the series. What is the probability of A winning the series? I have come up with a half-solution so far but i dont know how to expand/simplify. (fixing number of games p has to win =m, variable number of games that q wins=i) http://www.junde.howtofish.net/proj/images/summation.jpg Many Thanks! jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
