Hi, I've been trying to solve this problem for a while now. I don't know where to start. Can someone help me?

 

The Bad News Bears are playing against the Houston Toros in a baseball tournament. The first team to win three games wins the tournament. The Bears have a probability of  of winning each game. Find the probability that the Bears win the tournament.

 

Thanks!

You don't say what the probability is of the Bad News Bears winning each game!  However, a similar question was asked and answered here: https://web2.0calc.com/questions/help-please_92611#r1 .  You should be able to make use of that to answer your question.
