If you’re only playing one round, it’ll be 1/2 change you will win. So it is likely

Answer:1/2

Total probability in round 1 is 1
And there are two likely outcomes which are win and lose
And as such there is an equal probability for both to happen
Also , the sum of the two outcomes should be 1
(Win + Lose ) = 1
(1/2) + (1/2) =1
Hence the probability that round 1 is won is 1/2
