Predicting win-loss patterns for seven possible games

Reference no: EM13103025

"Suppose the world series is about to begin. Some people get together and each decide to predict different win-loss patterns for the seven possible games during the coming series. How many people would be needed before being certain that one of them would correctly predict the future of the world series?"
