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?
