This paper deals with the analysis of cricket match results from the ICC World Cup 2011. We believe that such data provide good material for interesting classroom exercises. (Contains 7 tables and 1 figure.)

We establish an interesting connection between the number of runs and the length of the first run when tossing a fair coin.

We find the correlation of two jointly distributed random variables connected with a coin tossing experiment. The marginal distributions are binomial and negative binomial.

In this article, we present a somewhat surprising result connected with random permutations.

In this article, we define the inversion vector of a permutation of the integers 1, 2,..., n. We set up a particular kind of permutation, called a partial random permutation. The sum of the elements of the inversion vector of such a permutation is a random variable of interest.

This article presents some data from a major sports event that can be used in common statistical analyses.

In this note, a coin tossing experiment which leads to three discrete distributions is discussed.
