There was a baseball game between Oscar and Gabe. The chance of Oscar winning is 3/5 (60%). The chance of Gabe winning is 2/5 (40%). This game wasn't a one game competition. It's the best of 5 series. This means the first person to win 3 games is the overall champion. What's the probability (% is best) that Oscar is the champion? Don't answer this question as Oscar with a 60% chance and Gabe as a 40% chance. Also, don’t use the equation for finding multiple events for probability.
Suppose you model a game of chance with a discrete probability distribution. Let X be the net amount of money or lost by the player. Let pX be the probability of the corresponding outcome. The three events are as follows: There is a 23% chance the player wins 7 dollars. there is a 38% chance the player loses 4 dollars. there is a 39% chance the player breaks even.

. Assume that 75 percent of the students at the university have taken 4 years of high school math. Of those with four years of high school math, 80 percent plan to major in science. Of those without 4 years, only 10 percent plan to major in science. You stop a student at random. If the student plans to major in science, what is the probability that this student had four years of high school math?
