math question

i know to go 10-0 in 10 games (assuming each game is a 50-50 proposition) is a 1024-1 shot.

what are the chances of at least 1 person going 10-0 in a 93 person pool?

RE: math question

I guess around 11-1 or 1024/93 - 1

RE: math question

timbo's about right. But the math is a little different.

+(1023/1024)^93 = .913

So it's about 8.7% chance of at least one person hitting the 10-0.

Like a +1050 proposition.
