Question 1192642: Solve the problem and show the solutions.
Problem: The likelihood of the teams A,B,C winning a football match are 1/3,1/5 and 1/9 respectively. Find the probability that:
1. Out of the three teams, either team a or team b will win
2. Either team a or b or team c will win
3. None of the teams will win the match
4. Neither team a nor team b will win the match

1. This is the probability of (1/3)(4/5)(8/9)+(2/3)(1/5)(8/9)=(32/135)+(16/135)=48/135=16/45
2. This is the answer in a + (2/3)(4/5)(1/9)=8/135 so the answer is 56/135
3. This is the joint probability of (2/3)(4/5)(8/9)=64/135
4. This is (2/3)(4/5)=8/15. Nothing is said about team c
