Question

if the probability that the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is 0.62 what is the probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of three games in a series against the rangers?

Answer 1

Answer : The chance that the Islanders will win n games out of 6 is:

0.47 ^ n + (1 - 0.47) ^ (6 - n) * 6! / n! / (6 - n!)So, the chance of winning 4 games is 0.205605

the chance of winning 5 games is 0.072932

the chance of winning all 6 games is 0.010779

Adding these together we get 0.289316

Rounding to the nearest thousandth we get 0.289 (or 28.9%)891 viewsRelated questions (More answers below)
