Answer:

6/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 possible outcomes for the game (win,lose and draw) and the total probability for the three outcomes must be equal to 1.

Then;

The probability that the game will be a draw Pd = 1 - (probability that they will lose Pl + probability that they will win Pw)

Pd = 1 - (Pl + Pw) ........1

Given;

Pl = 3/11

Pw = 2/11

Substituting the values into equation 1;

Pd = 1 - (2/11 + 3/11)

Pd = 6/11

The probability that the game will be a draw Pd = 6/11
