    Question 4 (1+1+2+2=6)

    Nadia had invented a game for one person. She throws two dice repeatedly until the sum of the two
    numbers shown is either six or eight. If the sum is six, she wins. If the sum is eight, she loses. If the
    sum is any other number, she continues to throw until the sum is six, or eight.

    i) What is the probability that she wins on the first throw?


    ii) What is the probability that a second throw is needed?
    iii) Find an expression for the probability that Nadia wins on her first, second or third throw.
    iv) Calculate probability that Nadia wins the game?
