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. ☺☺☺☺
