Answer:

a) the probability that Kim wins the match is 0.7046

b) the probability that Kim wins the match in exactly 2 sets is 0.4096

c) the probability that 3 sets are played is 0.4608

Step-by-step explanation:

a) <u>Kim's wins:</u>

  • P(Kim wins first two sets) =0.64×0.64=0.4096
  • P(Kim wins first set, Susan wins second set, Kim wins third set)=0.64×0.36×0.64≈0.1475
  • P(Susan wins first set, Kim wins second and third set)= 0.36×0.64×0.64≈0.1475

P(Kim wins)=0.4096+0.1475+0.1475=0.7046

b) <u>Kim wins the match in exactly 2 sets</u>

  • P(Kim wins first two sets) =0.64×0.64=0.4096

c) <u>3 sets are played</u>

P(Kim wins first set, Susan wins second set, Kim wins third set)=0.64×0.36×0.64≈0.1475

P(Susan wins first set, Kim wins second and third set)= 0.36×0.64×0.64≈0.1475

P(Kim wins first set, Susan wins second and third set)=0.64×0.36×0.36≈0.0829

P(Susan wins first set, Kim wins second set and Susan wins third set)=0.36×0.64×0.36≈0.0829

P(3 sets are played)=0.1475+0.1475+0.0829+0.0829=0.4608
