The National Basketball Association championship series is a best of 7 series, meaning that the first team to win 4 games is declared the champion. In its history, no team has ever come back to win the championship series after being behind 3 games to 1. Assuming that each of the games played in this year’s series is equally likely to be won by either team, independent of the results of earlier games, what is the probability that the upcoming championship series will result in a team coming back from a 3 games to 1 deficit to win the series?
