hi all,

any help would be appreciate.

In a game of lawn balls:
7 rinks
2 teams per rink.
a total of 14 teams

after the first round of games the teams switch randomly
and play another round of games.

every team has played two games each.

Normally at the end of the two games there are 2, maybe 3 teams who have won both games.

What are the odds & the probability that 6 teams have won two games?

thanks,
P

Are we assuming that each game is a fair Bernoulli trial? That is, either team wins with probability .5? Also, have you learned random variables yet? This will effect the way the answer should be explained.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
