Answer:

The probability is 0.341

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the probability that the student will win exactly one of the two matches

This means that;

If they win on Saturday, they lose on Sunday

or

If they lose on Saturday, they win on sunday

So either of the two scenarios will give that the team will win on either of the two days

Mathematically, we have that;

(0.45 * 0.33) + (0.55 * 0.35)

= 0.1485 + 1925

= 0.341
