uppose Ari loses 40% of all thumb wars (a) What is the probability that Ari loses two thumb wars in a row? (b) What is the probability that Ari loses six thumb wars in a row? (c) When events are independent, their complements are independent as well. Use this result to determine the probability that Ari loses six thumb wars in row, but does not lose seven in a row.
