I doubt that is correct either because you only need one loss out of 2 possible tries for each team. If it was the final game - yes, but not now.
I think it is 0.75^3 = 42%
WW, LW, WL, LL = 75% success for each team....
I don't know the right answer, but I know that you're wrong....
flipping a penny is an independent event too, but the prob. that it is flipped tails 3x in a row is not 50%.
the faulty line of reasoning usually happens within the game. 3 missed FG's and a dropped TD turns into 16 missed points. However, we know that we can only count one of those scores and the rest of the game would be different.
moving one from the loss column and putting it in the win column would obviously be a good thing in most scenarios - but the bottom line is we just don't know. Maybe a bunch of happy Bills jumps on Lee Evans and he strains his back. Nobody knows.
because you can't go back and change the outcome of an event and expect everything else to follow as if the change didn't occur.
If Nate knocks that ball down and we win - our next week practice would have changed, etc... there is no telling how the season would have unfolded. A win in week one is just that - a win in week one. Maybe those loses were necessary for us to maintain this streak? Maybe we win week one, but lose today....
so far so good... we are only putting out 50% of the data we put out last Sunday, but we essentially have zero load right now, so that bodes very well for us.
every now and then it is easy to forget we are all on the same side and want the same things - a place to chat with other fans and a SB victory.
I'm crossing my fingers that a lot of technical good came out of this and that our maximum capacity is set at a much higher level. I still have a few items to implement/fix, but I'm encouraged so far.
So I extend my apologies to anyone who was slighted earlier in the week. I hope everyone has a nice weekend and we'll see you here on Sunday!
well, what gould possibly be solution to a thread that has 895 responses? Show the entire outline every time you read a single message?
That is why threaded views are unworkable past a certain volume of posts. Our old board never really had more than 50 replies to a subject.
So, you are wishing for a solution from the past that really never behaved as you want it now.
