A four-sidex dice with numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 is thrown
and the number at the base is read.
The dice is biased such that the probabilies P_1 , P_2 , P_3 ,
and P_4 to obtain 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively are in an
arithmetic progression.
1\ Given P_4 =0.4, calculate P_1 , P_2 , and P_3 .
2\ The dice is thrown n-times (n≥1). The throws are assumed
to be independent, 2 by 2, and identical. Given U_n -the probability
of obtaining for the first time the fourth-n^(th) throw;
a\Express U_n in terms of n=
b\Given S_n =Σ_(i=1) ^n U_i
i. Express Sn in terms of n, and find its limit.
ii. Determine the smallest natural number such that
S_n >0.999
