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. What is the probability that a match between Player V and Player M will consist of 3 sets given that Player V wins the match?

Mary is playing a game where she flips a coin with probability of head = p. She wins $1 if the coins comes up heads, and looses $1 if it comes out tails. She starts with $4, and p=0.6. What is the probability that Mary obtains a fortune of N= 10 without going broke? Round answer to 4 decimals.
The probability that an event will happen is P(E)= 0.47. Find the probability that the event will not happen. The probability that the event will not happen is (Simplify your answer.)
Victoria plays college soccer. She makes a goal 70% of the time she shoots. Victoria is going to attempt two goals in a row in the next game. A = the event Victoria is successful on her first attempt. P(A) = 0.7. B = the event Victoria is successful on her second attempt. P(B) = 0.7. Victoria tends to shoot in streaks. The probability that she makes the second goal given that she made the first goal is 0.8.a. What is the probability that she makes both goals? b. What is the probability that Victoria makes either the first goal or the second goal?
The Addition Rule says that P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B). What must be TRUE about events A and B for this rule to apply? The events must be complements. The events must be disjoint. There must be a positive probability that the events can occur simultaneously. The events must be dependent. The events must be independent.

Marta likes to play two different lottery games. The probability of winning the first game is 0.08, and the probability of winning the second game is 0.11. If she plays both games tomorrow, find the probability she wins at least one of the games. (Assume independence of the two events.) Give the answer as a decimal, and round to 4 decimal places if rounding is necessary
By rewriting the formula for the Multiplication Rule, you can write a formula for finding P(A and B) conditional probabilities. The conditional probability of event B occurring, given that event A has occurred, is P(B A) = Use the information below to find P(A) the probability that a flight arrives on time given that it departed on time. The probability that an airplane flight departs on time is 0.89. The probability that a flight arrives on time is 0.86. The probability that a flight departs and arrives on time is 0.81. The probability that a flight arrives on time given that it departed on time is (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
