Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B take turns (A goes first) withdrawing balls from the urn consecutively.

To find : What is the probability that A selects the first red ball?

Solution :

A wins if the first red ball is drawn 1st,3rd,5th or 7th.

A red ball drawn seventh, there are places in which the other 2 red balls can be placed.

The total number of total event is

The probability that A selects the first red ball is

here, y is the total value of the text book after x owners.

hence, function will be
