A biased coin is tossed repeatedly until a tail appears for the first time. Heads is 3 times as likely to appear as tails. Let x be the number of tosses required. Assume that all the trials of tossing a biased coin are independent. Then, the conditional probability that xge6 , gives that x gt3 , is equal to

A biased coin with probability p(0 lt plt 1) of falling tails is tossed until a tail appears for the first time. If the probability that tail comes in odd number of trials is (2)/(3) , then p equals
