Question 78

Alice tosses two biased coins, each of which has a probability $p$ of obtaining a head, simultaneously and repeatedly until she gets two heads. Suppose that this happens on the $r$th toss for some integer $r \geq 1$. Given that there is $36\%$ chance that $r$ is even, what is the value of $p$?
  1. $\frac{\sqrt7}{4}$
  2. $\frac23$
  3. $\frac{\sqrt2}{2}$
