Long or Short World Series? In the World Series the top teams in the National League and the American League play a best-of-seven series: that is, they pay until one team has won four games. (No tie is allowed, so this results in a maximum of seven games.) Suppose the teams arc evenly matched, so the probability that either team wins a given game is 12 . (a) Use a coin or a modeling program to model a World Series. in which ‘heads” represents a win by Team A and “tails” represents a win by Team B. Perform this experiment go times, keeping track of how many games are needed to decide each series. Estimate the probability that an evenly matched series will end ¡n four games. Do the same for five, six, and seven games. (b) What is the probability that the series will end in four games? Five games? Six games? Seven games? Compare with your estimates from part (a). (c) Find the expected value for the number of games until the series ends. [Hint: This will be P(fourgames)4+P(five)5+P(six)6+P(seven)7 .]

Dividing a JackpotA game between two players consists of tossing a coin. Player A gets a point if the coin shows heads, and player B gets a point if it shows tails. The first player to get six points wins an 8,000 jackpot. As it happens, the police raid the place when player A has five points and B has three points. After everyone has calmed down, how should the jackpot be divided between the two players? In other words, what is the probability of A winning and that of B winning if the game were to continue? The French Mathematician Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct calculations though by very different reasonings. Their friend Roberval disagreed with both of them. He argued that player A has probability 34 of winning, because the game can end in the four ways H, TH, TTH, TTT and in three of these, A wins. Robervals reasoning was wrong. a Continue the game from the point at which it was interrupted, using either a coin or a modeling program. Perform the experiment 80 or more times, and estimate the probability that player A wins. bCalculate the probability that player A wins. Compare with your estimate from part a.
