Question 1174426: Suppose you and I take turns in rolling a die, to see who can first roll a 4. Suppose you roll first, then I roll, then you roll and so on until one of us has rolled a four. What is the chance that you roll a four? (Give the probability in the form of a fraction (example: 4/5)!
Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The probability that each player rolls a 4 is 1/6.

I doubt that is the answer you wanted; but it is the answer to the question you asked.

If you are serious about wanting help learning how to solve problems, it might do you well to pay attention to what you write in your post.

Assuming the question you meant to ask was different, re-post the problem showing the right question.
