regular

Explanation:

1. look at table

• notice regular and prevent defense have different wins but same total.
• 2. wins have more for regular so that's your answer

Answer 2

The correct option is A)

P(Win|Regular)=0.76

P(Win|Prevent )=0.58

You are more likely to win by playing regular defense.

Explanation:

Consider the provided table.

We need to find which strategy is better.

If team play regular defense then they win 38 matches out of 50.

`Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}`

`P(Win|Regular)=(38)/(50)`

`P(Win|Regular)=0.76`

If team play prevent defense then they win 29 matches out of 50.

Thus, the probability of win is:

`P(Win|Prevent )=(29)/(50)`

`P(Win|Prevent )=0.58`

Since, 0.76 is greater than 0.58

That means the probability of winning the game by playing regular defense is more as compare to playing prevent defense.

Hence, the conclusion is: You are more likely to win by playing regular defense.

Thus, the correct option is A)

P(Win|Regular)=0.76

P(Win|Prevent )=0.58

You are more likely to win by playing regular defense.
