There are five matches on each weekend of a football season. Megan takes part in a competition in which she earns one point if she picks more than half of the winning teams for a weekend, and zero points otherwise. The probability that Megan correctly picks the team that wins any given match is `2/3`.
- Show that the probability that Megan earns one point for a given weekend is 0.7901, correct to four decimal places. (2 marks)
