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?

In the first episode of a reality show, contestants had to spin two wheels of fate. Spinning the first wheel determined the remote location where contestants would reside for the duration of the season. Spinning the second wheel determined which "bonus survival tool" they would be allowed to bring, along with a few other necessary items. The probability that a participant spun the first wheel and landed on island is 0.2, the probability that a participant spun the second wheel and landed on a mirror is 0.8 and the probability that a participant spun the first wheel and landed on island and spun the second wheel and landed on a mirror is 0.1. What is the probability that a randomly chosen participant spun the first wheel and landed on island or spun the second wheel and landed on a mirror?
