Question

Regular probability of this and that or this and that or problem!

Answer 1

According to the given table the probability that BOS had at the 2nd pick is 11.1%. The cell corresponding to BOS and pick 2 shows 11.1%.

However, to verify if our claim is correct we might add up the probabilities of BOS at every pick starting from 1 to 14 and check if it adds up to 100% as it should.

10.3+11.1+12.0+0+23.7+34.2+8.2+0.3+0+0+0+0+0+0= 99.8 $\approx$ 100% (It may so happen that some probabilities at some picks were in second decimal places and when they were rounded off 0.2% of probability was not accounted for)

Similarly to verify we can add up the probabilities of all teams at the 2nd pick and check if it is equal to 100%

21.5+18.8+15.7+11.2+11.1+7.1+4.9+3.3+2.0+1.3+0.9+0.8+0.7+0.6= 99.9 $\approx$ 100%

Our verification was correct and the probabilities do add up to 100% in each case.
