The Funny Maths Thread.. which sometimes contains mildly amusing pictures

Additionally, it guessed not 5 but 8 games correctly, that's 0.39%.

On the yellow, why did it not go for Ghana?

And because I was bored, the odds of Paul guessing the 12 out of 14 games correctly is 0.56%
 
You lot do know we have a science thread now? :p
 
Not quite true, since first three games could also end in a tie.

It don't really believe it matters. The Octopus is assuming there is a victor in each match, so we calculate the odds based on that assumption.

Anyone who throws statistics in with science doesn't deserve to have their own opinion. :p

But would it be right or wrong if game would end in a tie.

That is true, but unfortunatly it never happened so we don't know what the consensus is on such an event, so the only real way we can calculate anything is to assume there will always be a winner in each game he predicts. Which with the benefit of hindsight, we know that the German team either falls apart or they rape utterly, so it is almost a safe bet :p.
