Betty and Carol play a game consisting of two rounds. In the frst round, Betty and Carol take tums to toss an unbiased coin. The player who first gets a head wins the first round. Betty and Carol play the first round until one of them wins. Betty tosses the coin first (a) Find the probability that Carol wins the first round of the game. (3 marks) (b)_ In the second round of the game, coins are dropped one by one into a device containing 25 boxes arranged in 5 rows and 5 columns (as shown in Figure 4). When a coin is dropped into the device, it falls ramdomly into one of the boxes. Each box can hold at most three balls B 38 a ze Istrow and row Sd row 4th row sinrow Figure 4 ‘The player of this round adopts one of the following two options: Option 1: Two coins are dropped one by one into the device. If the two coins fall into the same box, then the player gets 2 tokens. If the two coins fall into two adjacent boxes in the same row, then the player gets 1 token. Otherwise, the player gets no tokens. Option 2: Three coins are dropped one by one into the device. If the three coins fall into the same box, then the player gets 80 tokens. If the three coins fall into three adjacent boxes in the same row, then the player gets 2 tokens. If the three coins fall into three different boxes in the same column, then the player gets 1 token. Otherwise, the player gets no tokens. (i) If the player of the second round adopts Option 1, find the expected number of tokens 20 (ii) Which option should the player of the second round adopt in order to maximize the expected number of tokens got? Explain your answer Only the winner of the first round plays the second round. It is given that the player of the second round adopts the option which can maximize the expected number of tokens got. Betty claims that the probability of her getting more than 1 token in the game exceeds 0.005. Is the claim correct?
