A particular sports referee is accused of being biased when officiating between a
certain 2 teams. The table below shows the number of times the referee in question
officiated the 2 teams in the past 2 years, both at home matches and away matches,
as well as the number of wins that each team obtained in each case.
Discuss the results. Refer to concepts and values such as experimental probability or
relative frequency as well as theoretical probability and their values. Use this to
decide whether the referee is biased or not and in which way.
