Question

POSSIBLE POIN

Based on records from the past several seasons the probability of the Madison Math Team winning a competition is p(win)-0.875
If they compete in 24 competitions, how many will they win?

Answer 1

They will win 21 games

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of possible wins

From the question, we have it that the probability that the team will win is 0.875

Now, out of the 24 games, we simply have to multiply their winning probability by the number of games

We have this as;

0.875 * 24 = 21

Hence, out of the 24, 21 will result in a win
