Statistical

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The question is incomplete. Based on the full question, it is statistical.
  • This is an excerpt from Stephen Levitt and Stephen Dubner's Freakonomics.
  • The excerpt gives the statistical data of the wrestlers. The win-loss percentage between 7-7 wrestlers and 8-6 wrestlers is judged when either one of them is in the bubble the next time.
  • There will not be pressure in the individual match. They win only 40% of the rematches.
