Question

Two players, $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ , play a game against each other. In every round of the game, each player rolls a fair die once, where the six faces of the die have six distinct numbers. Let $x$ and $y$ denote the readings on the die rolled by $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ , respectively. If $x > y$ , then $P_{1}$ scores 5 points and $P_{2}$ scores 0 point. If $x = y$ , then each player scores 2 points. If $x < y$ , then $P_{1}$ scores 0 point and $P_{2}$ scores 5 points. Let $X_{i}$ and $Y_{i}$ be the total scores of $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ , respectively, after playing the $i^{t h}$ round.

$P (X_{i} > Y_{i}) + P (X_{i} < Y_{i}) + P (X_{i} = Y_{i}) = 1$

$And P (X_{i} > Y_{i}) = P (X_{i} < Y_{i}) = p$

$For i = 2, P (X_{2} = Y_{2}) = P (5, 5) + P (4, 4) = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{12} \times 2 + \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}$ $= \frac{25}{72} + \frac{1}{36} = \frac{27}{72} = \frac{3}{8}$

$P (X_{2} > Y_{2}) = P (10, 0) = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{1}{6} \times 2 = \frac{5}{16}$

$For i = 3, P (X_{3} = Y_{3}) = P (6, 6) + P (7, 7)$ $= \frac{1}{6 \times 6 \times 6} + \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{12} \times 6 = \frac{77}{432}$

$P (X_{3} > Y_{3}) = \frac{1}{2} (1 - \frac{77}{432}) = \frac{355}{864}$

$I I I \to T, I V \to S$

Solution

1 I → Q; II → R; III → T; IV → S

2 I → Q; II → R; III → T; IV → T

3 I → P; II → R; III → Q; IV → S

4 I → P; II → R; III → Q; IV → T
