P(A wins a game)=3/5P(\text{A wins a game})=3/5, P(A loses)=2/5P(\text{A loses})=2/5. P(exactly 2 of 3)=(32)(35)2(25)=3×925×25=54125P(\text{exactly 2 of 3})=\binom{3}{2}(\frac{3}{5})^2(\frac{2}{5})=3\times\frac{9}{25}\times\frac{2}{5}=\frac{54}{125}. P(all 3)=(35)3=27125P(\text{all 3})=(\frac{3}{5})^3=\frac{27}{125}. P(at least 2)=54125+27125=81125P(\text{at least 2})=\frac{54}{125}+\frac{27}{125}=\frac{81}{125}, so $P(\text{fewer than 2})=1-\fr …
