O
and A
are playing a game. The game
has seven (7) rounds. They are initially located at "0" (marked as "x" in the graph
below). For each round, they play rock-paper-scissors. If
wins the game (which

will make one step to the right, while remains at the
location; if
will make
remains. After seven rounds, the winner is whichever
one step to the right, while
who makes more steps.

(a)
Let X, Y be the position (0 to 7) of O and A after seven rounds.
What is the distribution of X, Y. Give the relevant parameters.
(b)
Compute the expected value of X, Y.
(c)
Find the probability that X ≤ 2. Express your answer up to 3rd decimal
place.
(d)
Find the probability that wins the game after seven rounds. Express
your answer up to 3rd decimal place. (Hint: what is the sum X+Y?)
(e)
After the game ends, the loser will have to play the winner x pieces of treat,
is at
where x is the difference of their final position. E.g., if O is at 6, and
pays
1, then
6-1= 5 pieces of treats. Let Z be the number of treats
earned by O in this game (≤0 if he loses). Find E[Z].
