Answer:

30.91% probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers

Explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the Islanders win, or they do not. The probability of the Islanders winning a game is independent of other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.


P(X = x) = C_(n,x).p^(x).(1-p)^(n-x)

In which
C_(n,x) is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.


C_(n,x) = (n!)/(x!(n-x)!)

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is 0.44

This means that
p = 0.44

What is the probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers? ​

This is P(X = 1) when n = 4. Then


P(X = x) = C_(n,x).p^(x).(1-p)^(n-x)


P(X = 1) = C_(4,1).(0.44)^(1).(0.56)^(3) = 0.3091

30.91% probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers
