    i cant figure this problem out x.x

    With a 64-team tournament there will be 63 games played to determine the winner. Use this info. to answer the following quiestions:

    a. What is the probability that someone can choose all the winning teams for all 63 games? ( in exponential form )

    b. write your answer in expanded notation

    c. Write your answer using sci notation after rounding to the nearest quintillion( 18 zeros )



    i can probally find b+c but idk how to find a.

    The probability of someone randomly choosing the winner in one game is 0.5, so for 63 games, it would just be 0.5^63
