Question

The probablity of winning a game is 1/3 less than the twice of losing the game find the provablity of winning the game

Answer 1

Answer:

Let probability of losing a game = q

and probability of winning a game = p

we know that , p + q = 1 ...(1)

according to the question,p =2q - 1/3

6q - 3p =1 ...(2)

On solving (1) and (2) we get

q = 4/9 and p= 5/9

so Probability of winning a game =5/9
