A: How to intuit p = Calvin's probability of winning each game independently = $1/2 \implies$ P(Calvin wins the match) = 1/2? The intuition at $p = \frac{1}{2}$ is based on symmetry. If Calvin wins a game with probability $p = \frac{1}{2}$, then Hobbes also wins a game with the same probability $q = 1 - p = \frac{1}{2}$. Then the respective probabilities $P(C)$ and $P(H)$ of each player winning the whole match must also ... (more) |
