Suppose two football teams, Madrid and Barcelona, play 10 matches. (We assume that all matches have a winner.) How many ordered outcomes are there where Madrid wins exactly 3 matches? (counting MMMBBBBBBB as different from BMBMBMBBBB, for instance)

Suppose four teams, numbered one through four, play a single-elimination tournament, consisting of three games. Two teams play each game and one of them wins; ties do not occur. The tournament bracket is as follows: teams one and another team play each other in the first game and the remaining two teams play each other in the second game; the winner of the first game plays the winner of the second game in the third game. Define a set ΩΩ...
There is a football game between two rival teams -- Team 0 and Team 1. Suppose Team 0 wins 65% of the time and Team 1 wins the remaining matches. Among the games won by Team 0, only 30% of them come from playing on Team 1’s football team. On the other hand, 75% of the victories for Team 1 are obtained while playing at home. If Team 1 is to host the next match between the two teams, which...
1. You are observing a series of independent matches between two teams. After 500 matches, Team A has won 300 matches and Team B has won the remaining 200 matches (there are no ties) Let P(A) be the probability that Team A wins a given match [5] (a) Find an unbiased estimate of P(A [51 (b) Find an interval [a, b such that P(A) E [a, b] with probability 0.95 5] (c) Suppose that the interval in part (b) is...
Letn>1 be an integer. Suppose there are n teams in a football league and every two teams have played against each other exactly once with no ties. Prove that it is possible to number the teams 1 to n such that at the end of the season team i beats team i + 1 for i = 1,…, n-1. 7.

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?
Suppose we have a late-night bus and towards the end of the route, there are 3 passengers {P1, P2, P3} and 5 stops {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5} remain. Suppose further that each passenger is inebriated and is thus is equally likely to get off at any one of the stops. (i) We wish to list the set of outcomes in the sample space each of whose outcomes is an ordered triple of all three Sij for I-1,2,3, where Sij...
3. Suppose we have a late night bus and towards the end of the route, there are 3 passengers {P, Pz2 , P3} and 5 stops SI,S2,S3,S4,Ss, remain. Suppose further that each passenger is inebriated, and is thus is equally likely to get off at any one of the stops (i) We wish to list the set of outcomes in the sample space each of whose outcomes is an ordered triple of all three Sij for l=1,2,3, where Sij means...
I thought the answer was C) 5 but that is incorrect. I
am not sure how to find the correct answer.
25. In many women's tennis matches they play best-out-of-three sets. In other words, they play until one player wins two sets, and there are no ties. Lourdes and Mariana are two rivals, though Lourdes seems to win about six sets for every four that Mariana wins. Use the random numbers table below to simulate 10 matches between Lourdes and...
Closing Case 1 Football Teams Use Virtual Reality The Problem College and professional football teams have a unique set of problems. First and foremost, teams would like to reduce the physical wear and tear of drills and practices on their players. In the National Football League (NFL), the most recent Collective Bargaining Agreement (2011) reduced the number of off-season practices, prohibited training camp “two-a-day” practices, and limited the number of contact practices in both the preseason and the regular season....
We Can Learn Much About Work Teams from Studying Sports Teams Point In nearly every nation on earth, sports teams are looked upon as examples of teamwork and collective achievement. We celebrate when our favorite teams win and commiserate with others when they lose. Individual sports like golf or singles tennis can be enjoyable to play and, depending on your taste, to watch, but nothing compares to the exhilaration of seeing teams-whether it is football (soccer or American football), basketball,...
