Yeah I've had to use it in work when it comes to predicting software failures, etc.

I don't remember it from college either. Had to relearn it.

specifically, if someone answers this one: I give them $20: If Tulane has a 3.5% chance of beating LSU, How often is Tulane losing all 17games, how often is Tulane losing 16 games, how often is Tulane losing 15 games, how often is Tulane losing 14 games? how often is Tulane losing 13 games?

16 games


Use the formula for the binomial distribution. k is 16, n is 17, p is 0.035.

You can get the rest using similar logic
