One of the interview questions i got in the quantitative interview round was this: interviewer will play Padel against me. Assuming interviewer is better than me in padel, he will have a probability to win a point over me with 70%. The rules of the game is that the first person to reach 11 points wins -with atleast 2 points difference. The current score is 9to9, what are the chances that I win?
