i) The gambler’s ruin problem We play the following game: We start with 3$ in our pocket and we ip a coin. If the result is tail we loose one dollar, while if the result is positive we win one dollar. We stop when we have no money to bargain, or when we reach 9$. We may ask: what is the probability that I end up broke?
