1. John has a choice between two options, to play 3 tennis sets with his father (”F”) and Bill (”B”), a
tennis champion. He can either play in the order F-B-F, or in the order B-F-B. Bill is a better player
than his father. If John wins two sets in a row, he will win a prize.

(b) Let Z be the number of times John wins. If, instead, John wanted to maximize E[Z], should
he make a different choice? Why or why not?
