In order for a baseball team to win the world series,the team must win four of seven games. assume the two teams are equally likely to win. 1) Using a simulation with 25 trials,what is the probaility that the teams in the world series will play all seven games? 2) Often we do the same simulation to answer different question.Using the same simulation data,what is the average number of games that must be played to win the world series? 3) the following data represent the number of games played in each world series from 1923 to 2010. compute the average number of games played and compare that number to your result for question 2 from your simulation.
X(games played)| probability
4|0.1954
5| 0.2069
6 | 0.2184
7 | 0.3793
Note: include an explanation of the simulation process in context for each question and include the data for each trial.

Try looking here, it is a nice lesson that will answer your questions and give you the answers. Its a lesson by Jay Hill.
It will show you how to solve the problem by both simulation and also analytically.
