Question:
Three friends (A, B, and C) will participate in a round-robin tournament in which each one plays both of the others. Suppose that P(A beats B) 5 .7, P(A beats C) 5 .8, and P(B beats C) 5 .6 and that the outcomes of the three matches are independent of one another.
a. What is the probability that A wins both her matches and that B beats C?
b. What is the probability that A wins both her matches?
c. What is the probability that A loses both her matches?
d. What is the probability that each person wins one match? (Hint: There are two different ways for this to happen. Calculate the probability of each separately, and then add.)
