An unfair coin, which has the probability of $a\ \left(0<a<\frac 12\right)$ for showing $Heads$ and $1-a$ for showing $Tails$, is flipped $n\geq 2$ times. After $n$-th trial, denote by $A_n$ the event that heads are showing on at least two times and by$B_n$ the event that are not showing in the order of $tails\rightarrow heads$, until the trials $T_1,\ T_2,\ \cdots ,\ T_n$ will be finished . Answer the following questions:
(1) Find the probabilities $P(A_n),\ P(B_n)$.
(2) Find the probability $P(A_n\cap B_n )$.
(3) Find the limit $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{P(A_n) P(B_n)}{P(A_n\cap B_n )}.$
You may use $\lim_{n\to\infty} nr^n=0\ (0<r<1).$
