[Tutor] python problem - help!!

[Chris]

I need your help!

 

I have this problem that I can’t seem to figure out.  Can you help?  The
problem is listed below, and below it is my code that I have so far.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

Two hockey teams play eight times during the regular season. Team A wins
five times and Team B wins the other three times. They meet in the playoffs
in a best of seven series. Write a program that estimates the chances of
Team B winning the series. A sample run of the program might look like this:

.
Are team B's chances better in a 1 game "series", a 3 game series, a 5 game
series, or a 7 game series? What would team B's chances of winning a 51 game
series be?

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------

 

import random

SERIES = 1000

game = 0

series = 0

 

while series < SERIES:

    

    teamA = random.randint (1,8)

    teamB = random.randint (1,8)

    teams = teamA + teamB

 

    if random.randint(1,8) >= 5:

        'Team A' = team

    else:

        'Team B' = team

 

        game = game + 1

 

    series = series + 1

 

print 'In %2d simulated series %2d won %2d ' % (SERIES,team,game)

print 'so I estimate there is a',(game / 10.00),'% chance they will win the
series.'
