I have a probability problem for which I would appreciate some help in
solving.
I toss one coin x times, and I toss another coin y times. What is the
probability that there are more heads with the first coin than with the
second coin (in terms of a closed formula only involving x and y)?
Even an asymptotic approximation to the answer would be good.
Regards,
