Question 411191: Suppose that in the 2011 lottery the NBA assigns the 4-number configurations so that the team with the worst record has a .25 probability of winning the first draft pick, the team with the second-worst record has a .20 probability of winning the first draft pick, and the team with the third-worst record has a .157 probability of winning the first pick.
Question 6. Suppose the first 4-number configuration drawn in 2011 is a configuration that has been assigned to the team with the third-worst record; therefore the team with the third-worst record would be awarded the first pick in the draft. What is the probability that the team with the worst record is awarded the second pick in the draft? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
