In order to qualify for the next round, soccer team has to get at least 4 points in the next 2 games. General rules: 3 points for victory, 1 point for draw, and 0 points for loss. Probability of a team losing = probability of team winning = 0.3. Find the probability that soccer team will qualify for the next round.

Expert Solution
Given data,
  • The requirement of points for qualify in the next round is 4 points.
  • Points on victory is 3
  • Points on losing the game is 0
  • Points on draw the game is 1.
Step 1

Here, the probability of winning the game is 0.3

The probability of losing the game is 0.3.

The probability of draw of game is,
=1-P(Win)-P(loss)=1-0.3-0.3=0.4

On playing two games,
The probability of winning is 12.

The probability of drawing is 14.

The probability of losing is 12.
