Hmmmm

How did you box your answer?

Percent is in the form of:

$$x/100$$
 

So we try to get:

$$14/70 = x/100$$

We simplify the right side fraction:

$$2/10 = x/100$$
 

We multiply the right side by 10 on the numerator and denominator:

$$20/100 = x / 100$$
 

So x = 20

So your answer is 20%

~Hmmmm

Probability is:

successes/total

We start by finding the total number of draws that you can do:

6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

Now, we have to find the probability that you actually draw your pair:

6 * 1 

-> For the first pair:

4 * 1

-> After taking out the second pair:

2 * 1 

-> For the third pair

So, successes are: (6 * 4 * 2)/(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)

1/(5 * 3)

1/15

So the probability is 1/15.

I might be incorrect as I'm not the best at this, so if you find it incorrect please tell me.

We have the equation:

X + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

X = -1

Well, if there is only 3 games, and 1/5 probability for each, I believe you just do:

1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5

= 1/125 probability that the Bears actually win the tournament.

However, if I am wrong, please tell me, as I would be happy to learn what my mistake was and how I could have corrected it!

I don't see "the 5 boxes below"...
