[u]Set 3[/u] [b]3.1[/b] Annie has $24$ letter tiles in a bag; $8$ C’s, $8$ M’s, and $8$ W’s. She blindly draws tiles from the bag until she has enough to spell “CMWMC.” What is the maximum number of tiles she may have to draw? [b]3.2[/b] Let $T$ be the answer from the previous problem. Charlotte is initially standing at $(0, 0)$ in the coordinate plane. She takes $T$ steps, each of which moves her by $1$ unit in either the $+x$, $-x$, $+y$, or $-y$ direction (e.g. her first step takes her to $(1, 0)$, $(1, 0)$, $(0, 1)$ or $(0, -1)$). After the T steps, how many possibilities are there for Charlotte’s location? [b]3.3[/b] Let $T$ be the answer from the previous problem, and let $S$ be the sum of the digits of $T$. Francesca has an unfair coin with an unknown probability $p$ of landing heads on a given flip. If she flips the coin $S$ times, the probability she gets exactly one head is equal to the probability she gets exactly two heads. Compute the probability $p$. PS. You should use hide for answers.
