Probability 4

Example:
---------

The probability of me making a shot in basketball is 80%, I have 3 shots and we need 1 pt to win the match. What is the probability of we winning the match?

P(we winning) = P(me making atleast one shot) = 1 - P(me making no shots at all)

P(me making no shots at all) = 0.2 * 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.008 = 0.8%

P(we winning) = 1-0.008 = 99.2%
