Sagot :

She must win the next 8 consecutive games to get 80% and after that loose the next 12 games to get to 50%.

How to find the probability of winning?

She has won 8 out of 12 days. Thus, percentage of winning is;

P(winning) = 8/12 * 100%

P(Winning) = 75%

To arrive at 80% winning, it means that the number of extra consecutive games she must win is;

(8 + x)/(12 + x) = 80/100

10(8 + x) = 8(12 + x)

80 + 10x = 96 + 8x

2x = 16

x = 8

Thus, she must win the next 8 consecutive games to get 80%.

For her to get to 50% after that, it means that;

(16 - x)/(20 - x) = 50/100

(16 - x)/(20 - x) = 1/2

2(16 - x) = 20 - x

32 - 2x = 20 - x

x = 12
