I assume you arrived at your 0.006% figure by taking 50% to the fourteenth power.
1/16384 = 0.0061035%
What if I told you that Chris Paul has a career winning percentage of 65% in the 1155 regular season games he has played?
[Chris Paul also has a career winning percentage of 50.38% (66-65) in playoff games.]
1 - 0.65 = 0.35
35% to the fourteenth power is approximately 0.000041395%
0.0061035% = 147.44 X 0.000041395% ... so I suppose the situation might be even "crazier" than the first estimate would suggest.
Someone [not I] won the Mega Millions jackpot on April 12.
Someone else [again, not I] won the Mega Millions jackpot on April 15.
(The probability of winning the Mega Millions jackpot is 1 in 302575350, which is approximately 0.00000030496%.)
Do you believe that Scott Foster deliberately cheats for the purpose of screwing Chris Paul?
Yes? No? Maybe?
