Probability: sudden-death playoff Teams A and B go into sudden-death overtime after playing to a tie. The teams alternate possession of the ball, and the first team to score wins. Assume each team has a 1/6 chance of scoring when it has the ball, and Team A has the ball first. 24 a. The probability that Team A ultimately wins is Evaluate this series. k= b. The expected number of rounds (possessions by either team) required for the overtime to end is- k-1 Σ( . Evaluate this series.
