Question

The probability of drawing a green marble from a marble bag is 60%. What are the odds in favor of drawing a green marble? PLEASE HELP!!

3:5
2:3
3:2
5:3

Answer 1

So, 60%, in fraction form, is 60/100
simplifying that, we get 6/10
A ratio can be made out of this.
6:10
We can simplify this by dividing both sides by two:
3:5
So the answer is option A.

Answer 2

3:2

Explanation:

Given,

The probability of green marble = 60% = 0.6

So, the probability of a marble which is not green = 40% = 0.4

Since, odds in favor of a particular event is the ratio between the number of favorable outcomes to the number of unfavorable outcomes.

Hence, the odds in favor of drawing a green marble =
`(0.6)/(0.4)`

`=(3)/(2)`

Third option is correct.
