Concept explainers
Cards Suppose that, instead of tossing a coin, the player in Exercise 25 draws up to five cards from a deck consisting only of three red and three black cards. The player wins as soon as the number of red cards exceeds the number of black cards and loses as soon as three black cards have been drawn. Does the tree diagram for the card game have the same shape as the tree diagram for the coin game? Is there any difference in the probability of winning? If so, which game has the greater probability of winning?
