Challenge Problem Tennis Anyone? Assume that the probability of winning a point on serve or return is treated as constant throughout the match. Further suppose that
The probability
The probability Ps that the better player wins a best-of-five match is
Suppose the probability that the better player wins a set is 0.6. What is the probability that this player wins a best-of-five match?
The difference between the probability of winning and losing is known as the win advantage. For a best-of-
The edge, E, is defined as the difference: in win advantage between a best-of-five and best-of-three match. That is,
Edge as function of win probability of set
