Show all work and solve all parts that are asked: HW 1.y.(Yutnori) Yutnori is played by 2 (groups of) players on a gameboard with pieces thatmove around. Each player takes turns throwing yut sticks - each stick hastwo sides, round and flat, which makes the stick roll. Five combinationsare possible with yut sticks: do, gae, geol, yut and mo. A player achievinga yut or mo is allowed to roll again. Combinations and the number ofmoves they allow on the gameboard are presented in Figure 3 (flat sideup is blank and round side up is filled with x-es). Assuming each of the 4 Yut sticks falls on both of its sides with equalprobability, what is the probability that:a) you roll a yut?b) you roll a geol ?c) you get a second roll?d) you move 6 spaces in your first turn?In reality, a typical Yut stick is designed so that the probability of flat sidefacing up is around 60%. Try to think of what the previous probabilitieswould be in this case.arrow_forward
