Show the probability that after all coins have been tossed

Reference no: EM131183302

Alice and Bob have 2n + 1 coins, each coin with probability of heads equal to 1/2. Bob tosses n+ 1 coins, while Alice tosses the remaining n coins. Assuming independent coin tosses, show that the probability that after all coins have been tossed, Bob will have gotten more heads than Alice is 1/2.
