Uppose two equally matched baseball teams (Team A and Team B) are playing in a World Series in which the winner is the 1st team to win 4 games. After 2 games, the series must be halted due to unforeseen circumstances. At that time, Team A leads Team B (2 games to 0 games). The Baseball Commissioner decides to divide the $36.4 million that would normally go to the winner between the two teams. He calculates P(Team A would have won the series) and P(Team B would have won the series) assuming that the teams are exactly evenly matched. He divides the money up proportionately using these probabilities. How much money should Team A receive?

Team A should receive $29.57 million. The rest should go to team B

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets see, in order for team A to win the series, it needs to win 2 more games from a total of 5 remaining (this is a best of seven. We are assuming that all seven games are being played even if the series is finished; that shouldnt change the probability that team A wins the series).

Since both teams are even, the probability for team A to win a game is 0.5. We assume that 2 different matches are independent within each other, so the total amount of games that teams A would have won if the series would have continued is a binomial random variable, lets call it X, with parameters n=5, p=0.5. We want to know the probability that X is equal or greater than 2, that is, X=2, X=3, X=4 or X=5.

Therefore

This means that Team A should receive 81.25% of the money, that is 0.8125*36.4 = $29.57 million. The rest would go to team B.

probably the last option

step-by-step explanation:

at each of the parallel lines adjacent angles are supplementary. the angles have special names identifying their positions with respect to the parallel lines and transversal. they are corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior angles. an angles is congruent to its matched angle.
