A particular team sport declares the team that wins 4 games out of 6 possible games as the champion. The championship ends once a team has won 4 games. Suppose that teams X and Y face each other in the championship games and that team X has 65% probability of winning a game over team Y. What is the probability that team X wins the championship in 5 games?

In women’s tennis, a player must win 2 out of 3 sets to win a match. If a player wins the first 2 sets, she wins the match and the third set is not played. Player V and Player M will compete in a match. Player V and Player M have competed against each other many times. Historical data show that each player is equally likely to win the first set. If Player V wins the first set, the probability that she will win the second set is 0.60. If Player V loses the first set, the probability that she will lose the second set is 0.70. If Player V wins exactly one of the first two sets, the probability that she will win the third set is 0.45. What is the probability that Player V will win a match against Player M?
