You have five fair coins. You toss them all so that they randomly fall heads or tails. Those that
fall tails in the first toss you pick up and toss again. You toss again those that show tails after the
second toss, and so on, until all show heads. Let X be the number of coins involved in the last
toss. Find P ( X = 1 ) .
