Consider a Baseball World Series (best of 7 game series) in which team A theoretically has a 0.55 chance of winning each game against team B. Simulate the probability that team A would win a World Series against team B by simulating 1000 World Series. Use R to conduct simulation. Present your results either as a histogram of simulated probabilities, or a plot of probability of Team A winning versus count of simulated World Series.

Consider a baseball world series (best of 7 game series) in which team A theoretically has a 0.55 chance of winning each game against team B. Simulate the probability that team A would win the world series against team B simulating 1,000 world series. What is the probability that team A would win? (USE R - include R output)

Two baseball teams play a best-of-seven series, in which the series ends as soon as one team wins four games. The first two games are to be played on A’s field, the next three games on B’s field, and the last two on A’s field. The probability that A wins a game is 0:7 at home and 0:5 away. Assume that the results of the games are independent. Find the probability that: (a) A wins the series in 4 games;...

(a) Two teams, A and B, are playing in the best-of-7 World Series; whoever gets to 4 wins first wins the series. Suppose the home team always has a small advantage, winning each game with probability 0.6 and losing with probability 0.4. Also assume that every game is independent. What is the probability that team A will win the series in exactly 6 games if the series is played in the following format: A–A–B–B–B–A–A, meaning that the first two games...

Two team (A and B) play a series of baseball games. The team who wins three games of five-game-series wins the series. Consider A has home-field advantage (0.7 means A has probability of winning 0.7 if it plays in its field) and opponent-field disadvantage (0.2 means A has probability of winning 0.2 if it plays in opponents field). If the series start on A team’s field and played alternately between A and B team’s fields, find the probability that series...

1) Two teams, A and B, are playing a best of 5 game series. (The series is over once one team wins 3 games). The probability of A winning any given game is 0.6. Draw the tree diagram for all possible outcomes of the series. 2) List all possible combinations of rolling a 4-sided die (d4) and a 6-sided die (d6) (enumaration). Also determine the probability X {1..6} where X is the largest of the two numbers. Two players, A...

In the World Series the first team to win four games wins the championship. If the two teams are evenly matched, then the probabilities that the series will be decided after 4, 5, 6, or 7 games are given below. a) What is the expected number of games that will be required to decide the championship? b) Calculate the probabilities. Explain your logic and show all work. Number of games: 4, 5, 6, 7 Probability: 1/8, 1/4, 5/16, 5/16

Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves are playing the Minnesota Twins in the World Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projected starting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, the...
