*if you think the players have equal chances, find the probability that each of the players will win. explaine how you know your answer is correct.
*if you think the players do not have equal chances, explain in detail why you think they do not.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Dave moves one space if the result is 2 heads.
Taylor moves one espace if the result is 2 tails.
Lindsay moves one espace if the result is 1 heald and 1 tail.
does each of the players have an equal chance of winning the games ?
-------------
The probability of throwing two heads is (1/2)(1/2)=1/4
The probability of throwing two tails is (1/2)(1/2)=1/4
The probability of throwing a head and a tail is 2(1/2)(1/2)=2/4 = 1/2
-------------------
Lindsay has twice as good a chance of winning as Dave or Taylor.
