Jensen's Inequality, The Law of Large Numbers, and March Madness
Abstract:
In a March Madness contest, players try to predict the outcome of the NCAA Basketball Championship tournament most accurately. If you want to win, do you choose what you think the most likely outcome is? Or do you pick an outcome less likely so that you have "more room" to be the most accurate? We answer this question.
