Each time a player plays a certain card game, there is a probability of 0.15 that the game will work out successfully and there is a probability of 0.85 that the game will not work out successfully. The probability of success in any game is independent of the outcome of any other game. A player plays the games until a game works out successfully. 1. Find the probability that she plays 4 games altogether. 2. Find the probability that at most 6 games are played. 3.Write down the expected number of games that are played.
