I need to be brushed up on my probability formula. (been a while since I was in the classroom
I was having a discussion with a friend or mine last night. He was telling me how he was going to start tailing a few guys in college hoops that were hitting around 70%:lolBIG: . Anyway I did not want to challenge that, but we got in a fairly heated discussion on the following scenario:
"IF" the three guys are acheiving a 70% rate and picked one game each, what would be the percentage that all three would win on the same night? (my friend felt they would have the same 70% chance of sweeping the three plays)
Please someone correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't it be .70x.70x.70=.343 or 34% chance of them sweeping the board??
