Let us assume that probability that A wins is P. Then probability that B wins is P/2 And probability that C wins is& P/3
We know that someone should win, that is why sum of all probabilities should be 1 P+P/2+P/3=1 6P+3P+2P=6 11P=6 P=54.5% Probability that B wins is 54.5%/2=27.3% Probability that C wins is 54.5%/3=18.2%
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
