Kevin durant and russell westbrook are in a team 3 point


Q1: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are in a team 3 point shooting contest representing the Oklahoma City Thunder. They will alternate 3 point attempts and will continue to shoot until they miss a shot - ie when Kevin Durant misses he stops and when Russell Westbrook misses he stops. The random variable of interest is W = total number of successful shots (ie adding successful shots for both players together). Suppose that the events score/miss are independent across shots and across the two players and that the constant probability that Durant scores on any shot is 0.3 while for Westbrook it is 0.4. Denote w for a possible value for W and note that w can beany non-negative integer - ie: 0,1,2,3,......

Find the value of the probability function P (w) W for w.
