Question 1043976: An Internet company located in Southern California has season tickets to the Los Angeles Lakers basketball games. The company president always invites one of the 6 vice presidents to attend games with him, and claims he selects the person to attend at random. One of the 6 vice presidents has not been invited to attend any of the last 7 Lakers home games.
What is the likelihood this could be due to chance?

The chance that any one v.p. is not selected to go to any one game is 5/6. Missing out on seven games in a row would have a likelihood of happening (5/6)^7 percent, or : .279081647233 probability, or a 27.908% chance.
