SOLUTION: 100 players in a football pool each week 16 weeks in a season What is the probability of the same player winning more than one week in the season?

 

Hi,

 100 players in a football pool each week.  

p = 1/100 chances of winning = .01  Losing q = .99

P(winning more than one week)  = 1 - P(all losses) = 1 - 

                                                   = 1 - .8515

Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is: 

P = nCx*  where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively. 

In this case p= .01 & q = .99

nCx =
