(a)
Whether each player has an equal chance of winning when a fair coin is tossed given that if a head appears, I win; if a tail appears, you lose.
(b)
To find:
Whether each player has an equal chance of winning when a fair coin is tossed given that if a head appears, I win; otherwise, you win.
(c)
Whether each player has an equal chance of winning when a fair die numbered 1 through 6 is tossed given that if 1 appears, I win; if 6 appears, you win.
(d)
Whether each player has an equal chance of winning when a fair die numbered 1 through 6 is tossed given that if an even number appears, I win; if an odd number appears, you win.
(e)
Whether each player has an equal chance of winning when a fair die numbered 1 through 6 is tossed given that if a number greater than or equal to 3 appears, I win; otherwise, you win.
(f)
Whether each player has an equal chance of winning when two fair dies numbered 1 through 6 are tossed given that if a 1 appears on each die, I win; if a 6 appears on each die, you win.
(g)
