    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
