Probability of Player 1 Beating Player 2 in Table Tennis with 80% Win Rate

In table tennis, the probability of winning a game is determined by the probability of winning each individual point. If player 1 has an 80% chance of winning any given point, the probability of winning the game can be calculated using the binomial distribution.

Let's assume that a game of table tennis consists of n points, where n is an even number. The probability of player 1 winning exactly k points is given by:

P(X = k) = (n choose k) * (0.8)^k * (0.2)^(n-k)

where:

  • n is the total number of points in the game
  • k is the number of points won by player 1
  • 0.8 is the probability of player 1 winning a point
  • 0.2 is the probability of player 1 losing a point

To determine the probability of player 1 winning the game, we need to sum the probabilities of winning exactly k points for k ranging from n/2 (since it's a tiebreaker) to n.

P(player 1 wins) = Σ[P(X = k) for k from n/2 to n]

By calculating this sum, you can determine the overall probability of player 1 defeating player 2 in a game of table tennis.
