Probability exam question

A biased coin has a probability of heads P(H)=p and tails P(T)=1-P what is the probability that up to and including the nth toss at least one head has occurred?

Arturo O.

If P(H) = 1, then it will always occur.  If P(T) = 1 - P(H) = 1 - 1 = 0, it will never occur.  Every toss should give H under these conditions.
