Best of three
In a playoff series, the stronger team wins any single game with probability 0.6, independently of the other games. The series is best of 3: the first team to 2 wins takes it. What is the probability that the stronger team wins the series?
Answer with a probability. First lock in a gut guess with an 80% range, then solve it properly, then watch a simulation settle on the truth.
