Question 451341: In this carnival game project(that we have to do for math end of the year project), round 1 goes like this. Out of a deck of cards, you pull a card. If that card is a queen of hearts, you automatically win. If that card is a queen, or a heart(but a king of hearts will make you lose), you must go to the next round. Any other card(or a king of hearts), and you lose. I figured the probability of winning, losing, and moving to round two, on this to be 1/52 winning, 37/52 losing, and 14/52 moving to round two.
In round two, there are 10 cups(3 blue, 4 red, 3 clear). Players must bounce a ball. If the ball lands in a blue cup, they win. If the ball lands in a red cup, they lose. If the ball lands in a clear cup, they must move to round three. I figured the probability of winning round two to be 3/10, the probability of losing round two to be 4/10, and the probability of moving to round 3 to be 3/10.
In round three, players must pick a card from a deck of cards. If that card is a queen of hearts, they win. Any other card, and they lose. The probability of winning round 3 is 1/52, and the probability of losing round 3 is 51/52.
My question is this: What is the probability of winning the whole game?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The results of each round are independent.
Find the probability of winning each round and multiply
those probabilities.
