If the probability that the team from the National League will win is 3/5 for each game, what is the probability that the National League team will win the World Series?
----------------
To win the Series the national league would need 4 victories while the
american league could have 0,1,2, or 3 victories.
------------------
P(national win) = 3/5 ; P(american win) = 2/5
--------------------
P(national wins series)= P(0 am,4 na) + P(1 am, 4na) + P(2 am, 4na) + P(3am,4na)
= (3/5)^4 + 5C4(3/5)^4(2/5) + 6C4(3/5)^4(2/5)^2 + 7C4(3/5)^4(2/5)3

I'll let you do the arithmetic
