3.65 R: Simulate the gambler's ruin problem for a gambler who starts with $15 and quits when he reaches $50 or goes bust. Use your code to simulate the probability of eventual ruin and compare it to the exact probability. Please provide the R code needed for this question.

3.14. Suppose that you are gambling against an infinitely rich adversary and at each stage you either win or lose a unit with respective probabilities. Show that the probability that you eventually go broke is less than 3pt (4/P) if p < 3 and where your initial fortune is.

the probability of winning at a certain slot machine is calculated to be .15. What is the probability of winning with this machine at least once in 5 attempts? Create a probability model and use line 119 of table A to simulate 10 trials. Then state your experimental probability. Line 119 95857 07118 87664 92099 58806 66979 98624 84826

"Question 8 10 pts In a casino game based on the standard gamblers ruin problem, the gambler and the dealer each start with 20 tokens. One token is bet on at each play: The game continues until one player has no further tokens_ It is decreed that the probability that any gambler is ruined is 0.55 to protect the casino's profit: What should the probability that the gambler wins at each play be? Give your answer to 4 decimal places."
