6 football teams each of different level
of play compete in a knockout fashion: the 1st pair chosen at random and in the following rounds the winner is facing another randomly chosen team.
Given that a certain team won three games so-far what is
the probability of winning the 4th game?
By "the 4th game", I wonder if the problem was meant to say "
its 4th game". For a team to win 3 games, it is possible that this team was not selected to play in the first game, but then won the following three games...
Otherwise, if only three games have been played, the problem should state: "a certain team won the first three games"
I am not sure which way was meant...

an ambiguity?
