Question 1082066: The National Rugby League (NRL) has 16 teams competing. At the start of the season it should be assumed that each team is just as likely to win the competition as any other.
(i) What is the probability that the team you choose (or follow) will win the competition?
(ii) To win the competition you must play off in the grand final (2 best teams play). How many possibilities are there for the grand final match? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! i) Since there are 16 teams competing, the probability of picking the winning team is 1/16, or .0625
ii)16 teams chosen 2 at a time equals 16 choose 2, which equals 120 different combinations. ☺☺☺☺
