Record the number of times a player makes both shots


For each of the parts below that describe a geometric setting, find the probability that X = 3. (If a geometric setting is not described, enter NONE.)
(a) Flip a coin until you observe a tail.

(b) Record the number of times a player makes both shots in a one-and-one foul-shooting situation. (In this situation, you get to attempt a second shot only if you make your first shot.)

(c) Draw a card from a deck, observe the card, and replace the card within the deck. Count the number of times you draw a card in this manner until you observe a jack.

(d) Buy a "Match 6" lottery ticket every day until you win the lottery. (In a "Match 6" lottery, a player chooses 6 different numbers from the set {1, 2, 3,..., 44}. A lottery representative draws 6 different numbers from this set. To win, the player must match all 6 numbers, in any order.)

(e) There are 10 red marbles and 5 blue marbles in a jar. You reach in and, without looking, select a marble. You want to know how many marbles you will have to draw (without replacement), on average, in order to be sure that you have 3 red marbles.
