Answer:
- p=0.7103 (4-game series)
- p=0.6480 (2-game series)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:

#We find probabilities for the different values of i:

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:

#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480
The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)
Complete the square fr x and y's sepreatly to get into form
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
the center is (h,k) and radius is r
so
group x's and y's seperatly
(4x²-10x)+(4y²+24y)+133/4=0
undistribute leading confident from each
4(x²-2.5x)+4(y²+6y)+133/4=0
take 1/2 of each linear confident and square it and add negative and positive inside the parenthasees
-2.5/2=-1.25 (-1.25)²=1.5625
6/2=3, 3²=9
4(x²-2.5x+1.5625-1.5625)+4(y²+6y+9-9)+133/4=0
factor perfect squares
4((x-1.25)²-1.5625)+4((y+3)²-9)+133/4=0
expand
4(x-1.25)²-6.25+4(y+3)²-36+133/4=0
4(x-1.25)²+4(y+3)²-9=0
add 9 to both sides
4(x-1.25)²+4(y+3)²=9
divide both sides by 4
(x-1.25)²+(y+3)²=9/4
(x-1.25)²+(y+3)²=(3/2)²
the center is (1.25,-3) and the radius is 1.5
25.3 × 1.08
