moneyball ques.

1.       The moneyball approach that billy and pete tried to get into was they tried to win the championship with a very poor team. I think that billy used both art science because billy had to use courage and a lot of thinking and for science he had to use a lot of math. The statistic they use was they look at the percentages of the players   
2.     
This is the formula that you use for obp
3.       Design is a creative type of thinking. Ideas that is never wrong. To plan and fashion artistically or skillfully.
4.       1 billy beane followed step 1 by defining the problem and the problem was that they lost their best 3 players and they had to figure out how to replace the players
2 billy beane and pet5e had to brainstorm ideas how to fill in their best players
3 billy and pete had to research a lot of players that are good that no other team knows
5.       1 alignment they had to organize the team in order for the team in order for the team can be good
2 commitment when they were sticking with the plan even if it was not working at first
3 direction billy had to direct the coach to put the players where they had to play and he had to direct the team also. 
6.       1 billy had to organize the team the right way
2 billy had to direct the team positive in order for the team to think positive
3 pete had to direct billy the players that were good and pete had to convince him
7.       Their winning streak was 68:51
8.       The ratio is .57
9.       Their winning streak was 20 wins in a row
10.   68:51 = .57 .57 ^ 20 = .0013 percent
68+51
11.   I think the As got lucky because it would have taken years to do that winning streak
12.   1 billy used science for the base average and the batting and he had to use a lot of math with decimals and percentages and he also had to keep track of all the money
2 he did use a lot of art by using his skills and it took  him a lot of courage cause it was a risk to do this
