Phone interview. 2 Probability questions. First one about rolling a dice. You may reroll at certain price. Find the expected pay off. Second one about two players tossing a coin BO7. Say A bets on heads and B bets on tails. Given that the game lasted 7 rounds and first round's a head. What's the probability that B wins?
