COMEDK · Maths · 36. Probability
In a kabaddi league, two matches are being played between Jaipur and Delhi. It is assumed that the outcomes of the two games are independent. The probability of Jaipur winning, drawing and losing the game against Delhi are \(\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{3}{10}\) and \(\dfrac{1}{5}\) respectively. Each team gets 5 points for win, 3 points for draw and 0 points for loss in a game. After two games, find the probability that Jaipur has more points than Delhi.
- A \(\dfrac{2}{5}\)
- B \(\dfrac{11}{20}\)
- C \(\dfrac{3}{20}\)
- D \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\dfrac{11}{20}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(W, D, L\) denote the events of winning, drawing, and losing a game for Jaipur, with probabilities \(P(W) = \dfrac{1}{2}\), \(P(D) = \dfrac{3}{10}\), and \(P(L) = \dfrac{1}{5}\). The points awarded are \(5\) for \(W\), \(3\) for \(D\), and \(0\) for \(L\). Let \(S_J\) be…
