    ok so she has a 50% chance of serving first so if she serves first she has a 55% percent chance of winning multiply. 55 and. 50 to get. 275 now she also has a 50% chance of not serving first so multiply. 47 and. 50 to get. 235 now that you have the two probabilities of her winning you add them together so. 275+.235 =.51 so she has a 51% chance of winning the game
