5. The volleyball team has a double-header on Friday. The probability that they
will win both games is 38%. The probability that they will win just the first game is
70%, What is the probability that the team will win the second game given that
they have already won the first game?

Respuesta :

Answer: 54.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The probability that they  will win both games is 38%.

i.e. P( both games will win) =0.38

The probability that they will win just the first game is  70%.

P(first game will win) = 0.70

To find : P(second game will win| first game will win)

Using formula: [tex]P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(\text{both A and B})}{P(A)}[/tex]

So, P(second game will win| first game will win) = [tex]\dfrac{\text{ P( both games will win)}}{\text{P(first game will win)}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{0.38}{0.70}\approx0.5429=54.29\%[/tex]

Hence, the required probability = 54.29%
