Question

4. Alice and Bob begin to play a sequence of chess games. Let S = { A wins a game }, and suppose that outcomes of successive games are independent with P(S) = p = .7 and P(F) = 1 - p = .3 (they never draw). They will play until one of them wins two games. Let X = the number of games played. Find a) the probability distribution (pmf) of X, b) the expected value of X.
