A team averages 7 losses for every 13 games it wins.
If ties are not permitted, what is the probability that the team will win its next game?
Express your answer as a percent.
65%
By the way the answer was not 46%
So there are a total of 20 games, of which they win 13
so prob(wind) = .....

To find the probability that the team will win its next game, we need to understand the ratio of wins to total games played.
Given that the team averages 7 losses for every 13 wins, we can calculate the ratio as follows:
Losses : Wins = 7 : 13
Now, let's find the total number of games played by adding the losses and wins:
Total games played = Losses + Wins = 7 + 13 = 20
To find the probability of winning the next game, we need to know the proportion of wins to total games played.
Probability of winning = Wins / Total games played = 13 / 20
To express this as a percentage, we can convert the decimal value to a percentage by multiplying it by 100:
Probability of winning = (13 / 20) * 100 = 65%
Therefore, the probability that the team will win its next game is 65%.
