Exercise 2.
NFL teams play 16 games during the regular season. Suppose the
standard deviation of the number of games won by all teams is 2,
and the correlation between the number of games a team wins in two
consecutive seasons is 0.5. If a team goes 12 and 4 during a
season, what is your best prediction for how many games they will
win next season?

3. In a National Football League (NFL) regular season, each team plays 16 games. Let " wins" be the number of regular season wins by a team in a particular season (taking a tie as half a win.) Since on average teams win half their games, the distribution of team wins has mean 8. Assume the distribution of team wins stays about the same from year to year. There is a positive correlation between a team's wins one year and...
During the 2013 NFL season, the home team won 153 of the 256 regular season games. Is this strong evidence of a home field advantage? Please show work on how to find p-value from z table. Thank you.
In a World Series, teams A and B play until one team wins four games. Suppose all games are independent, and that on each game, the probability that team A beats team B is 2/3. a. What is the probability that team A wins the series in four games? b. What is the probability that team A wins the series, given team B won games 1 and 2?
College football season will be upon us soon. There are 130 big-time (D-1) teams, which play a 12 game (regular season) schedule. Each game starts with a coin toss, which gives a valuable choice to the team winning the toss. Use the Bernoulli distribution to simulate this activity. Simulate coin toss results for each team during the season. Count the cumulative coin toss wins. Graph the results in a histogram and attach it. Describe the histogram (one sentence). How many...
The National Football League (NFL) records a variety of performance data for individuals and teams. To investigate the importance of passing on the percentage of games won by a team, the data in the Excel Online file below show the conference (Conf), average number of passing yards per attempt (Yds/Att), the number of interceptions thrown per attempt (Int/Att), and the percentage of games won (Win96) for a random sample of 16 NFL teams for a season.

Suppose that two teams play a series of games that ends when one of them has won 3 games. Suppose that each game played is, independently, won by team A with probability Let X be the number of games that are played. (a) Find P(X = 4) (b) Find the expected number of games played.
