Solution

The answer is a. 0.38.

Here's why:

In a match between two players, the total probability of all possible outcomes is 1. In this case, the possible outcomes are either Andy wins or Ryan wins.

We know that the probability of Andy winning is 0.62.

So, to find the probability of Ryan winning, we subtract the probability of Andy winning from the total probability.

That is, 1 - 0.62 = 0.38.

So, the probability of Ryan winning the match is 0.38.
