You and your friend are playing a game. The two of you will continue to toss a coin until the sequence HH or TH shows up. If HH shows up first, you win. If TH shows up first, your friend wins. What is the probability of you winning?

The probability of friend A winning with HH = 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event, A is P(A) given by the relationship;

P(A) = (The number of required outcome)/(The number of possible outcomes)

The parameters given are;

The condition of friend A winning = Coin toss sequence HH shows up

The condition of friend B winning = Coin toss sequence TH shows up

The number of possible outcomes = TT, TH, HH, HT = 4

(TH and HT are taken as different for the game to be fair)

The number of required outcome = HH = 1

Therefore;

The probability of friend A winning with HH = 1/4.
