The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first draw a tree diagram to represent all possible outcomes of the two matches and then calculate the probability that no match is lost. ### Step 1: Draw the Tree Diagram 1. **First Match Outcomes**: The first match can result in one of three outcomes: - Win (W) - Draw (D) - Lose (L) 2. **Second Match Outcomes**: For each outcome of the first match, the second match can also result in: - Win (W) - Draw (D) - Lose (L) Now, we can represent this in a tree diagram: ``` Match 1 / | \ W D L /|\ /|\ /|\ W D L W D L W D L ``` ### Step 2: List All Possible Outcomes From the tree diagram, we can list all possible outcomes of the two matches: 1. WW (Win, Win) 2. WD (Win, Draw) 3. WL (Win, Lose) 4. DW (Draw, Win) 5. DD (Draw, Draw) 6. DL (Draw, Lose) 7. LW (Lose, Win) 8. LD (Lose, Draw) 9. LL (Lose, Lose) So, the complete sample space (S) is: - S = { WW, WD, WL, DW, DD, DL, LW, LD, LL } ### Step 3: Calculate the Probability that No Match is Lost Next, we need to find the outcomes where no match is lost. The outcomes that satisfy this condition are: 1. WW (Win, Win) 2. WD (Win, Draw) 3. DW (Draw, Win) 4. DD (Draw, Draw) These outcomes are: - WW - WD - DW - DD Now, we count the number of favorable outcomes: - Number of favorable outcomes = 4 Total number of outcomes in the sample space = 9 ### Step 4: Calculate the Probability The probability (P) that no match is lost is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{No match lost}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(\text{No match lost}) = \frac{4}{9} \] ### Final Answer The probability that no match is lost is \( \frac{4}{9} \). ---

One urn contains two black balls (labelled B1 and B2) and one white ball. A second urn contains one black ball and two white balls (labelled W1 and W2). Suppose the following experiment is performed. One of the two urns is chosen at random. Next a ball is randomly chosen from the urn. Then a second ball is chosen at random from the same urn without replacing the first ball. Write the sample space showing all possible outcomes. What is the probability that two black balls are chosen? What is the probability that two balls of opposite colour are chosen?

Sania Mirza is to play with Sharapova in a three set match. For a particular set, the probability of Sania winning the set is √y and if she wins probability of her winning the next set becomes y else the probability that she wins the next one becomes y2. There is no possibility that a set is to be abandoned. R is the probability that Sania wins the first set. If R = 1/2 and Sania wins the second set, then the probability that she has won first set as well is nearly equal to a. 0. 74 b. 0. 46 c. 0. 26 d. 0. 54
