In an NBA championship series, the team which wins four games out of seven will be the winner. Suppose that team A has probability 0.55 of winning over the team B and both teams A and B face each other in the championship games. What is the probability that team A will win the series in six games? What is the probability that team A will win the series? If both teams face each other in a regional playoff series and the winner is decided by winning three out of five games, what is the probability that team A will win the playoff? Answer in 4 decimal place

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?
