Question 1089569: With the salary cap in the NFL, it is said that on �any given Sunday� any team could beat any other team. If we assume every week of the 16 week season a team has a 50% chance of winning, what is the probability that a team will have at least 1 win?

Every week, a teams chance of winning is 50%, or .5. The probability of the team losing is also 0.5. The probability of losing 16 games is 0.5^16, or 0.0000152587890625. So, the probability of winning at least one game is 1-0.0000152587890625, or 0.9999847412109375. ☺☺☺☺
