Question

The horse Dominus​ is listed as having odds of 2020​ to 22​ in a

horse race. If these odds represent the odds against winning, what
is the probability the horse will win the race?

Answer 1

To find the probability of winning the horse race, we divide the favorable outcomes by the total outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of winning the horse race, we need to calculate the winning odds. The odds against winning are given as 2020 to 22. This means that for every 2020 outcomes against winning, there are 22 outcomes in favor of winning.

To find the probability of winning, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (22) by the total number of possible outcomes (2020 + 22 = 2042).

Therefore, the probability of the horse winning the race is 22/2042.
