two teams are playing in a championship. they each have equal probability of winning the first game. for the remaining games, whoever won the last game has a psychological high, so they now have a 2/3 chance of winning the next game. the championship ends when one team has won W more games than the other. what's the expected number of games that will be played?
hint:Focus on the difference between the number of games won by team A and the number of games won by team B. Initially, this difference is zero, and with each game, it increases or decreases by one. The tournament ends when this difference reaches W or W
