OpenStudy (benthicflare):

What's your answer? Or your approach?

OpenStudy (fuzzybird):

I'm really not sure actually. @benthicflare

OpenStudy (benthicflare):

Okay do you know how to calculate the probabiltiy of Marc's save rate? What is the chance he will save a puck on average?

OpenStudy (fuzzybird):

I don't know how to calculate it. :( I'm lost on this one. @benthicflare

OpenStudy (benthicflare):

Since he saves it 27 out of the 29 times a puck has been hit towards, the goal, his average save rate is 27/29. We can assume that this save rate (the probability of saving a puck) will be the same on the next shot. Are you able to follow?

OpenStudy (fuzzybird):

Yes

OpenStudy (benthicflare):

Yeah so 27/29 = ?

OpenStudy (fuzzybird):

1

OpenStudy (fuzzybird):

B actually. Oops

OpenStudy (fuzzybird):

Thank you so much. :) I didn't realize it was that easy.

OpenStudy (benthicflare):

It should be A actually. He saved 27/29 times. The probability of him saving the next one will be pretty darn high.

OpenStudy (fuzzybird):

Ok. :D
