5 ……………………………………………..10
6 ……………………………………………..12
7 ……………………………………………..24
58
Assuming that each World Series game is an independent event and that the probability of either team’s winning any particular contest is 0.5, find the probability of each series length. How well does the model fit the data? (Compute the “expected” frequencies, that is, multiply the probability of a given-length series times 58).
