a. Interpret Brazil’s probability of 35.9%, which was based on computer simulations of the tournament. Is it a relative frequency or a subjective interpretation of probability?
b. Germany would emerge as the actual winner of the 2014 World Cup. Does this indicate that the 7.4% chance of Germany winning, which was calculated before the tournament, should have been 100% instead?
