Grisly Fan said:Not a whiz at statistics, eh? The smart person would pick the 26 out of 40 because they statistically are better at packing parachutes. Look at it this way, if you flip a 50/50 probability (not some kind of trick) coin 10 times in a row and it comes up heads each time, you might be highly confident that the 11th would be heads also based on the last 10 but the odds are still only 50/50. In the series between UM and EWU it is more like 66/33 so if you were to bet, you could bet on the 33 but you would be betting against the statistical odds. Of course packing parachutes and playing football games bear no similarity. The random bounce of a funny shaped ball often has whole lot more to do with the outcome than any past result.FormerEag said:grizfnz said:Dont you know history at ewu began in 2010?

Pretend you are going skydiving and have the choice between two different people to pack your parachute for you. Person A has packed 26 out of 40 parachutes perfectly Person B has packed 13 out of 40 perfectly. However, Person A can't seem to pack a chute lately and Person B has been consistently packing a chute right for the past 4 jumps in a row.
Who are you going to pick?

Hey genius, you're the one who brought up the statistical argument is the first place. You imply that because the Beagles have won that last 4 somehow means that they are more likely to win the 5th. I guess we'll see, won't we?FormerEag said:Grisly Fan said:Not a whiz at statistics, eh? The smart person would pick the 26 out of 40 because they statistically are better at packing parachutes.

You might want to be careful mocking my statistical analysis. By your logic, since UM has beaten EWU at a 2:1 ratio, the odds of the Grizz winning in Cheney this year will also be 2:1. There is no causal correlation between the overall historical series record and any given matchup. Also, the odds aren't fixed, as in a coin toss. Teams get better or worse over time. A coin toss will be 50/50 for eternity.
My point was that, in respect to each other, the Grizz are trending down and the Eags are trending up.

This is the correct answer. But, last 4?

History seems to suggest otherwise... Is your 13-26-1 record against Montana something you are proud of? I guess since you've had a little success against the Griz the past few years you think you are the new power of the Big Sky?

One need not read past here to know it's an EWU hypothetical, which also means it's logically flawed and likely an unintended result of Prop 48.
