Base
Case: n = 2
A1 and A2 are the teams. Put the winner first.
Inductive
Hypothesis: n = k
Assume that it works and all the k teams which are ordered 1, 2,
... k-1
Induction Case: Proving for n = k + 1
3 parts are there: New team is X
X beats the first team, then put the X at first
X lost to the last team, then put the X at last
X lost to team M that belongs to {1, 2, 3, ... k-1}. Then put the X
after M.
So, in any of the cases, we can still arrange them.
Hence Proved

Suppose major league baseball consists if two types of teams: profit maximizing teams (e.g., Rays) and win maximizing teams (e.g., Red Sox). Before the season, each team decides the number of expected wins they are going to get that season by constructing a roster of players. Fans enjoy wins, but the additional revenue of each win is decreasing and given by the following average revenue (inverse demand) curve ARW) 320-2W It is costly to increase the expected number of wins...

Suppose we have 5 peewee teams in a certain hockey tournament. Vipers Hawks Bruins Sharks Flames They played a round robin tournament with tied games allowed. Based on the results we have to rank the teams. We rank the teams based on the number of wins and if two teams A and B have the same number of wins then A is ranked above B if A beats B. No other game information is allowed. Round Robin Results: Vipers beat...

Suppose that two teams are playing a series of games each of which is independently won by team A with probability p and by team B with probability 1-p. The winner of the series is the first team to win i games. (a) If i 4, find the probability that a total of 7 games are played. (b) Find the expected number of games that are played when i 3. Suppose that two teams are playing a series of games...
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....

8) Suppose your team participate in a football tournament in which you play n games. Since you are a very average team, each game is equally likely to be a win, a loss, or a tie. You collect 3 points for each win, 1 point for each tie, and 0 points for each loss. The outcome of each game is independent of the outcome of every other game. Let X be the number of points you earn for game i...
