Question

You have a 1 in 4 chance of winning a game. How would you calculate the probability that you will win 3 times in a row?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of winning three games in a row is 1/64 or 1.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of winning a game = 1/4

Probability of winning two games in a row = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16

Probability of winning three games in a row = 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/64

Probability of winning three games in a row = (1/4)³ = 1/64

1/64 = 0.015625

1/64 = 1.6% (rounding to the next tenth)
