The probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs is 17.16%.
<h3><u>Probability </u></h3>
Given that this season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.61 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more runs in a game is 0.56, and the probability that the Yankees win and score 5 or more runs is 0.44, to determine what is the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs the following calculation must be made:
1 - 0.61 = 0.39
1 - 0.56 = 0.44
0.39 x 0.44 = X
0.1716 = X
Therefore, the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs is 17.16%.
