Hey /sci/ wondering if anyone could help me with this problem.
Four friends meet for an evening of cards. Being an experienced poker player, Alex has a greater chance than his three friends of winning any given round of poker. It is known that for every round of poker,
P("Alex wins") = 0.56 P("David wins") = 0.24
It is assumed that what happens on each round of poker is independent from the results of the previous rounds.
What is the probability that Alex would win at least 9 out of the next 10 rounds of poker?
I have the solution to this, but I cant figure out how it is calculated. It would be much appreciated if someone could help.
