3 The probability that a basketball team will win any match is 0.7 . The probability that they will draw is 0.25 . Calculate the probability that, in their next two matches, the basketball team will win one of them and lose the other.

To calculate the probability that the basketball team will win one match and lose the other in their next two matches, let's break down the possible outcomes and their probabilities. ### Given: - **Probability of winning (W):** 0.7 - **Probability of drawing (D):** 0.25 - **Probability of losing (L):** \( 1 - 0.7 - 0.25 = 0.05 \) ### Possible Outcomes for Two Matches: 1. **Win then Lose (WL)** 2. **Lose then Win (LW)** ### Calculations: 1. **Probability of WL:** \[ P(WL) = P(W) \times P(L) = 0.7 \times 0.05 = 0.035 \] 2. **Probability of LW:** \[ P(LW) = P(L) \times P(W) = 0.05 \times 0.7 = 0.035 \] 3. **Total Probability of Winning One and Losing One:** \[ P(\text{One Win and One Loss}) = P(WL) + P(LW) = 0.035 + 0.035 = 0.07 \] ### Conclusion: The probability that the basketball team will win one match and lose the other in their next two matches is **0.07** or **7%**. **Answer:** The probability of winning one match and losing the other is 0.07 (7 %).
