Each team has 3 possibilities WIN, LOSE, TIE\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 1st team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 2nd team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 3rd team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 4th team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 5th team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 6th team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 7th team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 8th team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)
\n" ); document.write( "Possible outcomes for the 9th team = 3 (WIN, LOSE, TIE)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " The point to note here is these outcomes are independent. i.e. the outcome of one team does not affect the other team's outcome.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SO, total no of possible outcomes = 3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3 = 3 to the power 9 = 19683\r
\n" ); document.write( "
