Wild Card
1. In 2001 the Mariners set a record with 116 wins. Simulate their playoff run using the probabilities given below. (Remember the ALDS is best out of 5 games and the ALCS and World Series are best out of 7 game series.)
Prob (#1 win DS) = .643
Prob (#1 win CS) = .555
Prob (#1 win WS) = .555
2. In 1995, the first year after the Wild Card was instituted, a memorable series occurred between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees. Ken Griffey Jr. scored from first base on Edgar Martinez's two-run double off Jack McDowell in the 11th inning to complete an 0-2 series comeback against the Wild Card New York Yankees. Simulate this series 5 times and report the outcome using the probability below. (Division Series is best out of 5)
Prob (Wild Card DS win) = .571
