Tomorrow Freddy is playing in an important soccer game. He reasons that there are three possible outcomes (they could win, tie, or lose) so the probability of winning must be 1/3. Is this reasoning correct? Why or why not?

No. The reasoning is not correct because it assumes that the three outcomes are equally likely which they are not. The probability will depend on the players, the coaches, whether they play at home or away and so on.
