2.Paul, the octopus who has been forecasting the outcome of FIFA world cup matches with
tremendous accuracy has now been invited to predict ICC world cup matches in 2011. We will
assume that the world cup contenders have been divided into 2 groups of 9 teams each. Each team
in a group plays the other teams in the group. The top two teams from each group enter the semi
finals (after which the winner is decided by knockout).
However, Paul has a soft spot for India and when India plays any team, Paul always backs India.
Alas, his predictions on matches involving India are right only 2 out of 3 times. In order to qualify
for the semi finals, it is sufficient for India to win 7 of its group matches. What is the probability
that India will win the ICC world cup?

5. A file is transferred from one location to another in 'buckets'. The size of the bucket is 10
kilobytes. The bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The transmission
time from sender to receiver is 10 milliseconds per bucket. After the receipt of the bucket the
receiver sends an acknowledgement that reaches sender in 100 milliseconds. Assuming no error
during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in seconds to successfully
complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes.
