Question

2 friends play chess and note down their scores after 5 rounds. What is the probability that they will tie?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

They played against different people, not each other. Imagine separating them onto two sides of a large room, with 5 opponents each. They go through and play, and both win, say, 3 games against those 5 opponents. Then you have your two girls playing and completing 5 games (each) and winning the same amount (3), where the remaining games were lost and no ties were had.
