Question

Dan and Brian have played 51 tennis matches.

Dan has won 29 times.
Brian won the rest.
a) Estimate the probability that Dan wins.
b) Estimate the probability that Brian wins.

Answer 1

A = 29/51 B = 22/51

Explanation:

(E) = number of favorable outcomes/ total number of possible outcomes

- number of possible outcomes= 51

- number of favorable outcomes= 29

therefore, P(E) = 29/51

- number of possible outcomes= 51

- number of favourable outcomes = 51 - 29 = 22

therefore, P(E)= 22/51
