Use the Binomial Probability formula
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Probability (P) (k successes in n trials) = nCk * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where nCk = n! / (k! * (n-k)!)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "For this problem, n = 3, k = 2, p = 0.16
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "P( 2 games go to extra innings out of 3 games) = 3C2 * (0.16)^2 * (1-0.16)^(3-2) = 0.0645 = 6.45%
\n" ); document.write( ":
