Question 1081363: Four women’s college basketball teams are participating in a single-elimination holiday basketball tournament. If one team is favored in its semifinal match by odds of 2.00 to 1.00 and another squad is favored in its contest by odds of 3.00 to 1.00, what is the probability that:
a)both favored teams win their games
b)neither favored team wins their game
c)at least one of the favored teams win their game. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! team a has probability of 2/3 of winning and team b 3/4
both win is product of those two or 1/2
neither wins is 1/3*1/4=1/12
at least one wins is 1-neither wins or 11/12.
