Question

United’s manager estimates that the team has a 65% chance of winning any

particular game and an 85% chance of not drawing any particular game.

a What are the manager’s estimates most likely to be based on?

b If the team plays 40 games this season, fnd the manager’s expectation of the

number of games the team will lose.

c If the team loses one game more than the manager expects this season,

explain why this does not necessarily mean that they performed below

expectation.

Answer 1

P(w)=.65

P(wvL)=.85

P(L)=.85-.65=.2=20% chance of Losing

P(draw or tied game)=.15

20% of 40= 8 games = expected losses

= point estimate

a confidence interval would likely include 9 games as a possible number of losses

especially a 90 or 95% confidence interval

coach's estimates are most likely based on past experience, prior track record of the team and the opposing teams' record
