I am stucked... can someone kindly help

Suppose your school's basketball team is playing a four-game series against another school. So far this season, each team has won three of the six games in which they faced each other.


a) Draw a tree diagram to illustrate all possible outcomes of the series.
b) Use your tree diagram to determine the probability of your school winning exactly two games.
c) What is the probability of your school sweeping the series (winning all four games?

Perhaps you are confused by the way the problem is written.

Your tree diagram is just for the four games coming up.

The statement about the previous six games tells you that the probability of winning any particular game may be estimated to be 3/6 or 1/2, so after you draw the tree you can use 1/2 for the probability of each branch.
