Resumo: This paper proposes to present a probabilistic study on the possible position to be occupied by a tennis player in a ranking based on the results of the elimination rounds of an important tournament. A situation is considered in which the expected results for tennis matches are equiprobable events and, another, in which the previous performance of the tennis players is observed in the evaluation of their chances of success. The study follows the tournament in different stages and presents updates as the results of the matches are known. Both treatments allow predictions that are adequate in the studied example. It is thus possible to establish, with some certainly, the ranking of the tennis player at the end of the tournament even using a methodology that is not very informative from a probabilistic point of view. Finally, the study requires an understanding of elementary counting and probability tools, which makes it accessible to the knowledge treated in Brazilian secondary school.

Se considera una situación en la que los resultados esperados de los partidos de tenis son eventos igualmente probables y, otra, en la que se observa el desempeño previo de las tenistas en la evaluación de sus posibilidades de éxito. El estudio sigue el torneo en diferentes etapas y proporciona actualizaciones a medida que se conocen los resultados de los partidos. Ambos tratamientos permiten predicciones que son adecuadas en el ejemplo estudiado. De esta forma, es posible establecer, con cierta certeza, la clasificación de la tenista al final del torneo, incluso utilizando una metodología poco informativa desde el punto de vista probabilístico. Finalmente, el estudio requiere una comprensión de las herramientas elementales de conteo y probabilidad, lo que lo hace accesible a los conocimientos tratados en la escuela secundaria brasileña.Este artigo se propõe a apresentar um estudo probabilístico acerca da eventual posição a ser ocupada por uma tenista em um ranking a depender dos resultados das partidas eliminatórias de um torneio de referência. São consideradas uma situação em que os resultados esperados para as partidas de tênis são eventos equiprováveis e, outra, em que se observa o desempenho pregresso das tenistas na avaliação de suas chances de êxito. O estudo acompanha o torneio em várias etapas e apresenta atualizações à medida em que são conhecidos os desfechos de partidas. Ambos os tratamentos permitem, no exemplo trabalhado, previsões que se mostram adequadas. É possível estabelecer, portanto, com certa segurança, a colocação da tenista ao término do torneio mesmo quando se utiliza uma metodologia pouco informativa sob o ponto de vista probabilístico. O estudo requer a compreensão de ferramentas elementares de contagem e probabilidade, o que o torna acessível a conhecimentos previstos no ensino médio brasileiro.Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul2023-09-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ifrs.edu.br/index.php/REMAT/article/view/657410.35819/remat2023v9i2id6574REMAT: Revista Eletrônica da Matemática; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2023); e3002REMAT: Revista Eletrônica da Matemática; Vol. 9 Núm. 2 (2023); e3002REMAT: Revista Eletrônica da Matemática; v. 9 n. 2 (2023); e30022447-2689reponame:Remat (Bento Gonçalves)instname:Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS)instacron:IFRSporhttps://periodicos.ifrs.edu.br/index.php/REMAT/article/view/6574/3449Copyright (c) 2023 REMAT: Revista Eletrônica da Matemáticahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCardoso Júnior, Eleomar2023-09-29T18:24:04Zoai:ojs2.periodicos.ifrs.edu.br:article/6574Revistahttp://periodicos.ifrs.edu.br/index.php/REMATPUBhttps://periodicos.ifrs.edu.br/index.php/REMAT/oai||greice.andreis@caxias.ifrs.edu.br2447-26892447-2689opendoar:2023-09-29T18:24:04Remat (Bento Gonçalves) - Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS)false
