Troy Finley · Answer 1

- - If the probability of winning any given game is 0.6,

then the probability of losing that game is 0.4.

The probability of losing Game #1 = 0.4

The probability of losing Game #2 = 0.4

The probability of losing Game #3 = 0.4

The probability of all 3 events occurring = (0.4) · (0.4) · (0.4)

= (0.064) = 6.4%.
