Just thought about this and need some help from The Big Brains on Brad out there.
Baylor and Texas play tonight. Baylor has lost 24 straight times. Let's assume that in each of those games Texas entered the contest with a 90% chance of winning. With that being said: What were the odds that Texas would win 24 in a row?
My guess is the equation would be 90/100 to the 24th power. But I have no idea what I'm saying.
Edit: Thanks, guys. I chose the 90% assumption for each game in order to see how incredible it is to win 24 in a row (even if one team is an overwhelming favorite each time.)
