Step 1
Here let the event of winning me is E1
Let the event of winning my friend is E2
The probability of winning mine P(E1)=55100=0.55
The probability of winning of my friend P(E2)=30100=0.3
Step 2
Now,
a) the probability of winning of mine if my friend win 5 times
P(E1)P(E2)×5=0.550.3×5=0.95
b) the probability of winning mine if my friends win 6 times
P(E1)P(E2)×6=0.550.3×6=1.25
