Question

The probability of winning a match is 0.55 what is the probability of winning three consecutive matches

Answer 1

Given : Probability of winning a match=(0.55).

Find : Probability of winning 3 consecutive matches.

  ∴ Probability of winning 3 consecutive matches⇒

                                                                             =(.55)×(.55)×(.55)

                                                                             =.166

Answer 2

Given:
The probability of winning a match=0.55

To find:

The probability of winning three consecutive matches

Solution:

The required probability is 0.16.

We can multiply the winning probability three times to calculate the required probability.

Since the probability of winning a match is 0.55, the probability of winning 3 consecutive matches= $probability^{3}$

So, the probability of winning=0.55

Using the values,

The required probability=0.55×0.55×0.55

=55/100×55/100×55/100

=55×55×55/100×100×100

=0.16

Therefore, the required probability is 0.16.
