- a. 0.36*0.72 = .2592 <------- b. 0.64*0.28 = .1792 <------- c. 1 - (.2592 + .1792) = .5616 <-------
- a) 0.36 * 0.72 = 0.2592 - about 26% ... win .*. (win | win) b) ..0.64 * 0.55 = 0.352 - about 35% .... lose * (lose | lose) c) .36 * .28 ... ... ..+... 0.64 * 0.45 = 0.3888 - about 39 % = 1 - sum of the first two .. win * (lose | win) + lose * (win | lose)
