Question

This season, the probability that the

Yankees will win a game is 0.6 and the
probability that the Yankees will score 5 or
more runs in a game is 0.61. The
probability that the Yankees win and score
5 or
more runs is 0.51. What is the
probability that the Yankees would score
fewer than
5 runs when they lose the
game? Round your answer to the nearest
thousandth.

Answer 1

0.156

Explanation:

P(A & B) = P(A) * P(B)

P(Yankess score less than 5 and lose) = P(score less than 5) * P(lose)

0.39 * 0.4 = 0.156
