How would you do this question?
"M and F are competing against each other in a competition in which the winner is the first person to score five goals.
The outcome is recorded by listing, in order, the initial of the person who scores each goal.
For example, one possible outcome could be MFFMMFMM."
In how many ways could the outcome of the experiment be recorded?
