A chess competition in which <A> is the present champion <B> and <C> are the challengers
Furthermore,following: • 0.6. = probability that B will Beat C in any match • 0.5. =probability that A will Beat B in any match • 0.7. = probability that A will Beat C in any match <B> AND <C> are made to play a two games against each others max If one of them wins both games,he gets to play a two-game second round with A ,the current champion .A retains his championship unless a second round is required and the challenger beats A in both games. If A wins the initial game of the second round,no more games are needed work out the probability that A will retain his championship this year. i want a direct approach I mean { 1- P(A asCHAMP) - P(B asCHAMP) } is also fine and gives the answers but i need a direct method http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-041-probabilistic-systems-analysis-and-applied-probability-spring-2005/recitations/tut01.pdf ------------------------------------------------ http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-041-probabilistic-systems-analysis-and-applied-probability-spring-2005/recitations/tut01_sol.pdf Rahul K Rai -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
