Penalty Misses Galore: A Statistical Analysis

Just two weeks ago I complained most professed footballers not existence able to reason penalties at a higher rate than 71%.While I regenerate a penalisation today in my 2-1 Sunday League win (and regenerate from the blot in last week's horrible 8-3 loss), Cesc Fabregas, Frank Lampard, Jermain Defoe, and Cristiano Ronaldo were not able to duplicate my nerves of poise across Europe this weekend.What is up with these guys? Four of the best footballers in the concern (all quaternary module sure be at the World Cup incoming season and three are destined starters) every absent from 12 yards in a 24 distance period?Statistically speaking, the chances of every quaternary absent are 0.29 x 0.29 x 0.29 x 0.29 = 0.007. Or 7/10th of 1 percent.There was over a 99% quantity that at least digit of those quaternary concern class footballers would score. But hour of them did. And my vision footie team was impact hard (Fabregas (c) and Defoe) by the misses.Weak.But block maths. Just intend to practice a taste primeval and place in the work. It's rattling not that hard to reason a penalty.
