R Code for the example 1 in 1.4 section in "First course in Mathematical Modeling" book

Presentation

This program finds the average number of trials needed to obtain all the n distinct items of a sample, with replacement. The mathematical formula is E(X) = ( (1/n) + (1/(n-1)) + (1/(n-2)) + (1/(n-3)) + ....+1) n

This R program calculates the probability that the first player in the following game wins: First player tosses a coin, followed by the second player. Both toss the coin one after the other, and who ever gets first N number of heads, that player wins. The program finds the probability that the first player wins. The program must be supplied with the probability of getting Head, and the number of times head must be obtained, before a player is declared as the winner.
