Question 118

In an election, there are two candidates, $A$ and $B$, who each have $5$ supporters. Each supporter, independent of other supporters, has a $\frac{1}{2}$ probability of voting for his or her candidate and a $\frac{1}{2}$ probability of being lazy and not voting. What is the probability of a tie (which includes the case in which no one votes)?
