<PRE><B>Question 976608</B>
 In a series of 5 games to be played between 2 equally matched teams, the first
team to win 3 games becomes the champion. Team A has won the first game. The
probability that team A will be the champion is ? 
Is 3/5 incorrect?
------
Binomial Problem with n = 5 and p(win) = 0.5
-----
P(A wins 2 of 4) = 4C2*0.5^2*0.5^2 = 6*0.25^2 = 0.375 = 3/8
