Question

Chris' home basketball team has a 25% chance or 0.25 probability of winning any given basketball game. What is the probability that they don't win their first game of the season until the 8th game

Answer 1

0.75

Explanation:

Given that the probability of winning a game is 25%

Pr(they don't win) = 1 - Pr(they win)

Pr(they don't win) = 1 - 0.25

Pr(they don't win) = 0.75

Hence the probability that they won is 0.75 or 75%
