Championship probability
in Assignments
Suppose that you have a tournament that looks something like so:
Suppose you also have an assessment of the probabilities associated with each possible game in the tournament. You can get your version on this web page.
Use this information to compute the probability that team 1 wins the tournament.

My data table of game probabilities is as follows:
$P_12 = .63$
$P_13 = .79$
$P_14 = .88$
$P_23 = .73$
$P_24 = .83$

My calculation was set up as follows:
$(P_14timesP_23)timesP_12 + (P_14timesP_32)timesP_13=$ probability that Team 1 wins
$(.88times.73times.63 + .88times(1-.73)times.79=.592146 or 59%$
