              Case 2
              Let there be a bet among friends that a person will have to perform a dare if the die rolls out 5 or 6 and otherwise
              the person has to speak the truth.
                 • Scenario 1: When die rolls into any number between 1-4. The person replies to a question with the
                truth.

                 • Scenario 2: When the die rolls out 5 or 6 then a person performs a dare.

                       Applications of Probability

              Probability has a wide range of applications across various fields, making it an essential concept in many areas
              of study and professional practice. Here are some key applications of probability.


              Sports
                 • In cricket, the batting average represents how many runs a batsman would
                score before getting out. Probability can help in estimating the batting
                average. For instance, if a batsman had scored 20 runs out of 80 runs from
                only boundaries in the last match. Then, there is a chance that he will score
                25% of his runs in the next match from boundaries.

                 • Probability helps in predicting the outcomes of sports events by analysing historical data and other relevant
                factors. For example, in football (soccer), the probability of a team winning can be calculated based on home
                advantage, current form, and historical head-to-head results.
                 • Coaches and analysts use probability to predict a player's performance. For example, in basketball, the probability
                of a player making a free throw can be estimated based on their past success rate.
                 • During games, coaches use probability models to make strategic decisions. For example, in football, when
                a team scores a touchdown, they have a choice. They can either kick the ball for an easy point or try for a
                more challenging two-point conversion by running or passing the ball into the end zone again. Coaches use
                probability to decide which option gives them the best chance of scoring more points.
                 • Teams with players suited to the ground conditions may have a higher probability of winning. For example, if
                the nature of the pitch favours batsmen or bowlers, can have a substantial impact.
