Answer:

  • p(green) = 0.5
  • odds in favor of green: 1 : 1

Explanation:

There are 5 green marbles among the 10 in the bag, so the probability of drawing one at random is 5/10 = 0.50.

The odds in favor of drawing a green marble will be the ratio of the number of green marbles to the number that are not green: 5 : 5. Usually, the odds are expressed using integers with no common factors, so they would be written as 1 : 1.
