Hi there
Been lurking and learning for a bit but this is my first time posting
We have an office pool going on and someone asked what the odds of winning were. And I hate to admit it but I had no idea.
So what better place than to ask here.
Our team has 7 people
categories are best sales, worst sales, and most improved sales for the quarter
I know that the odds of picking all three are 1:294 1/(7x6x7), but we've chosen to award the prize to anyone that can correctly predict 2 of the 3 categories instead of all 3. Presuming the challenge would be easier.
I have no idea how to work that one out. Theoretically the most improved can be either the best or worst salesperson.
Any help would be appreciated
