Answer 1

Answer:P(win|regular) = 0.84

P(win|prevent) = 0.70

Conclusion: You are more likely to win by playing regular defense.

Explanation:

Divide the regular defense wins(42) but the total of regular defense (50) and you get 0.84.

Then divide the prevent defense wins(35) by the total of prevent defense(50) and you get 0.70.

Since the regular defense is more than the prevent defense, then you are more likely to win by playing the regular defense. (:
