P(win) = 47 /50  EXPLANATION: ratio of past wins to all past fights.

 

"Calculate the possibility that she willies this fight." 

Instead, let's calculate P(lose) = 3/50, ratio of past losses to all past fights.

Answer 2

The probability is calculated as follows:

 

50 fights, 47 wins and 3 losses

 

Probability of winning = 47/50 = 0.94
