Two hockey teams, the Winnipeg Jets (yay!) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (boo!), miraculously make it to

the Stanley Cup finals. As soon as a team wins 3 games, the championship is over.
The schedule for the playoffs (for home games) is: Jets - Leafs - Jets - Leafs - Jets
If the Jets are playing at home, there is a 60% chance they'll win. If they are playing on the road, there is
a 45% chance they'll win.
Find the probability that the Jets win the Stanley Cup. Round answers to at least 4 decimal places.
Can anyone help me please. No links please
