Each day, you independently decide, with probability p, to flip a fair coin.
Otherwise, you do nothing. (a) What is the probability of getting exactly 10 Heads in the first
20 days? (b) What is the probability of getting 10 Heads before 5 Tails?

@ajaysoni1924  each day we are first flipping a coin with probability p, then getting a head with probability 1/2.

so, P(success)= p*(1/2) =p/2   {both are independent events}

&, P(not success)= (1-p/2)
