Team A wins against team B with a probability of 0.75. What is the probability that team A wins a best of 3 series (first to win two)? For this problem, I tried to use the binomial distribution formula. Here's my work: I added the probability of team A winning in 2 games and the probability of A winning in 3 games. What did I do wrong?

Your friend Phil, asks you what you think about a new scratch-off lottery game. It costs $10 to play this game, There are two outcomes for the game (win, lose) and the probability that a player wins a game is 60%. A win results in $15, for a net win of $5 ($15 minus the $10 paid to play). The probability distribution for x� (the amount of money a player wins or loses) in a single game is as follows:

Answer ASAP, I'll upvote. Thanks. The championship series of a particular team sport requires that a team wins 3 games out of 5 possible games be declared the champion. The series ends once a team has won 3 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 4 games?
