Answer 2

Answer:

The series winning probablity of india is 66.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

• Here it is given in the question that india won 15 out of 25 matches so the probablity of india winning the match becomes
  $\frac{15}{25} = 0.6$
• So now the probablity of india winning a single match is 0.6 ie 60%
• So the probablity of number of matches that india can win out of 6 matches are
  $\frac{60}{100} * 6 =3.6$
• So now the probablity of india winning the series becomes
  $\frac{4}{6} *100 = 66.67 %$%
• Hence winning probablity of india is 66.67%
