Amber, Bella, and Cassey play a game that has 6 rounds. In each round there is one winner, and the outcomes of the rounds are independant. For each round the probability that Amber wins is 50%, and Bella is twice as likely to win as Cassey. What is the probability that Amber wins three rounds, Bella wins two rounds, and Cassey wins one round?

\(p_a + p_b+p_c = 1\\ \dfrac 1 2 + 2p_c + p_c = 1\\ 3p_c = \dfrac 1 2\\ p_c=\dfrac 1 6\\ p_b = \dfrac 1 3\)

 

\(P[a_3b_2c] = \dbinom{6}{3}\dbinom{3}{2} \left(\dfrac 1 2 \right)^3 \left(\dfrac 1 3 \right)^2\left(\dfrac 1 6 \right) = \dfrac{5}{36}\)
