Try this!

Ram and Shyam are in Accu Billiards to play snooker. Shyam plays slightly better than Ram. They agree to play a series of games on the condition that Ram wins the series if he succeeds in winning 15 games before Shyam wins 20 games. The probability of winning a single game is 0.4 for Ram and 0.6 for Shyam. What is the probability that Ram will win the series?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

ram (.4)^1/15 and then for shyam u go (.6)^1/20 i think

 

 

Here is the exact answer:

P(Ram Wins) = 0.3726

Its your job to get the answer.

Hint: The solution involves slightly difficult mathematical modeling of the problem. After that ask Prof. Bernoulli about Bernoulli Trials.

3x how did u get that

Great!

3X is correct!

I appreciate your effort 3X. You should be a sharp mathematics student.

Gundaa,

It took me 0.5 hour with 3 reference books of probability. Try it on yourself. Its too long, I can't post such long equations using this notepad-like text editor.

Or, you can ask baglung_in_mass who asked the problem.

oh man no thank you hahahahahhaha but good job
