Two boys play basketball in the following way. They take turns shooting and stop when a basket is made. Player A goes first with a probability p1 of making a basket on any throw. Player B, who shoots second, has probability 2 p of making a basket. The outcomes of the successive trials are assumed to be independent. (a) Find the probability mass function for the total number of attempts. (b) What is the probability that player A wins
