Question:
The World Series ends when one team wins 4 games. Suppose that sports analysts consider one r to be stronger and give them a 60% chance of winning aruallitne, is you will need to generate more than 4 numbers to determine a winner. For example, if the favored team wins the first 3 games and the underdog wins the fourth game, the Series is not yet over. What is the maximum number of games that will be played before a team wins 4 games?
a) Explain how you would use randomly generated numbers from 0 to 9 to model the likelihood that the underdog team will win.
b) Run 20 trials and create a table of your findings. For your table, use the headings "Trial", "Components", "Outcome".
For Example:
Trial Components (the list of numbers generated by your calculator) Outcome (which team won the Series) 1 2 ...,
c) Use your model to answer the question: What is the likelihood that the underdog will win the World Series.
