A player serving in tennis has two chances to get a serve into play. If the first serve is out, the player serves again. If thesecond serve is also out, the player loses the point. Observe the probabilities based on four years of theWimbledon Championship.P(1st serve in) = 0.59P(win point | 1st serve in) = 0.73%3DP(2nd serve in | 1st serve out) = 0.86P(win point | 1st serve out and 2nd serve in) = 0.59%3DMake a tree diagram for the results of the two serves and the outcome, win or lose, of the point. The branches in your treehave different numbers of stages depending on the outcome of the first serve.What is the probability that the serving player wins the point?

At the beginning of each day, a patient in the hospital is classifed into one of the three conditions: good, fair or critical. At the beginning of the next day, the patient will either still be in the hospital and be in good, fair or critical condition or will be discharged in one of three conditions: improved, unimproved, or dead.
