Answer 1

odd in favor is 17/3 = 5.66

Explanation:

given data

winning outcome = 85%

to find out

odds in favor

solution

we know that odd in favor is = favor outcome / unfavor outcome

here favor outcome is 85%

and unfavor will be (100 - 85) = 15%

so

odd in favor is = favor outcome / unfavor outcome

odd in favor is = 85 / 15

odd in favor is 17/3 = 5.66
