Answer: C.) 4/27
Explanation:
Given that:
One out of three cards is a winner :
P(winning) = 1 / 3
Therefore, P(not winning) = P(losing) :
1 - P(winning) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
Probability that shenice will first win on her third try can be interpreted as:
1st try = lose, 2nd try: lose, 3rd try : win
P(losing) × p(losing) × p(winning)
(2/3) × (2/3) × (1/3)
4 / 27
Probability of first winning on third try = 4/27
