Board game probability
A group of friends is playing a board game.
It is Mike's turn, and he is almost at the finish. Mike will roll a fair six-sided die to determine how many spaces he moves, and then he will flip a coin to determine if he goes forwards or backwards.
Mike needs to move forward at least 4 spaces to win. What is the probability that Mike wins the game on this turn?
