Q.15 For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been
predicting the winner of each match with amazing success.
It is rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul
picks A with the same probability as A’s chances of
winning. Let’s assume such rumors to be true and that in a
match between Ghana and Bolivia, Ghana the stronger team
has a probability of 2/3 of winning the game. What is the
probability that Paul will correctly pick the winner of the
Ghana-Bolivia game?
