    It mostly depends on whether Tom Brady is the pitcher.

    Education is extremely important.

      You’re comparing the time before the first game to the time after,

      Should be the time before the camping trip to the time after.

      Oh, you are right.

      Looks like the probabilities are identical, then: both are 0.1792.

        Yeah which is why I posted it.

        It’s counter intuitive.

        Your team is down by a game, with up to 6 left to play. You come back and your team is still down by a game but only 4 left.

        Seems like you’re in a worse position, less opportunity to catch up. But your odds are unchanged.

            I don't think so.
