Question 14857
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.
