Poor Charles Tillman, he gets elected to one pro bowl and all of a sudden he thinks he's an "all pro corner." And that's a tricky question cuz it cannot be answered as stated. The answer is either 20% (if "winning each game" means winning all four of them) or just under 60% (if "each" refers to any specific game).

THE BEARS STILL SUCK!Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

The probability the Bears win all 4 games is 1/625 (1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5)Originally posted by hoosier View PostPoor Charles Tillman, he gets elected to one pro bowl and all of a sudden he thinks he's an "all pro corner."

The probability the Bears win at least one game 4/5 (1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5)Go PACK

Maybe this is why Tillman is pissed. If your kids teacher screws up they should be held accountableOriginally posted by Iron Mike View PostPackers are 29-16 vs. the Bears since the 1990s. My math-addled brain interprets that as a 75% probability the Pack will beat the Bears in any game.
