Everytime Ashley and David play tennis, Ashley has a probability of 4/5 that she wins. if 5 games are played what is the probability that Ashley wins either 4 or 5 of the games? that she wins 3 games?
--------------------------------------------------
It's binomial with n = 5, p = 4/5.
P(she wins 4 or 5 games) = 1 - binomcdf(5,0.8,3) = 0.7373..
--------------------------------------------------------------------
P(she wins 3 games) = 5C3(4/5)^3(1/5)^2 = 0.2048..
