Title: Billion-dollar bracket (Warren Buffet) Odds Post by: emsjvh on March 19, 2014, 12:55:25 PM http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/16/buffett-quicken-ncaa-bracket-march-madness-billion-dollars/6410185/ (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/16/buffett-quicken-ncaa-bracket-march-madness-billion-dollars/6410185/)
Where are they coming up with the "9,223,372,036,854,775,808" number? Also is the Binomial Probability Formula suited for determining this outcome? (I'd assume for general computation yes however I believe certain games percentages may vary an extreme amount which would lead me to believe you should be using something else) http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/we-have-a-1-in-6001225228-chance-of-winning-buffetts-billion/ (http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/we-have-a-1-in-6001225228-chance-of-winning-buffetts-billion/) tl;dr : No one is going to win the 64 bracket or Buffet's money... |
