\(X\) beating \(Y = \frac{2}{3}\)
\(X\) beating \(Z = \frac{1}{4}\)
Qt A
\(X\) winning both: \(\frac{2}{3} * \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{6}\)
Qt B
\(X\) losing both: \(\frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Qt B > Qt A
Answer B
\(X\) beating \(Z = \frac{1}{4}\)
Qt A
\(X\) winning both: \(\frac{2}{3} * \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{6}\)
Qt B
\(X\) losing both: \(\frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Qt B > Qt A
Answer B
