Your Toronto Maple Leafs won 30 of 82 games last season (i.e., the 2014-2015 season), giving them a winning percentage of 37%. If we assume this means the probability of the Leafs winning any given game is 0.37, then we can predict how they would have done in a playoff series.

Answer the following questions to determine the probability that the Leafs would have won a best of 7playoff series (i.e., won 4 games) had they made the playoffs last season.

a. Rephrase this question in terms of sequences of 0s and 1s. What is the shortest length of a sequence? What is the longest length of a sequence?

b. Calculate the number of sequences which correspond to the Leafs winning the series. (Note that the answer is not C(7, 4).)

c. Calculate the number of sequences as they relate to this problem. (Note that the answer is not 27 as not all series would last 7 games.)

d. Calculate the probability that the Leafs would win the series.

e. What is your best guess for the probability that the Leafs will ever win the Stanley Cup again (the ultimate prize in the NHL)

A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 1.10 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.160 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 7.50 m/s toward the finish line for 0.880 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 7.50 m/s. Both the hare and the tortoise cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the tortoise from the finish line when the hare resumes the race?

A man of mass 80 kg runs up a flight of stairs 20 m high in 10 s. (a) how much power is used to lift the man? (b) If the man’s body is 25% efficient, how much power does he expend? (c) This man consumes approximately 1.05 × 107 J (2500 food calories) of energy per day while maintaining a constant weight. What is the average power he produces over a day? (d) Compare this with his power production when he runs up the stairs.

Answer is: a) 1.6 kW; (b) 6.3 kW; (c) 122 W; (d) 1.9% of power produced running up stairs
