Question

The probability the Eagles will win this week is .70 what are the odd in favor of them winning

Answer 1

The odds in favor of the Eagles winning are
`\(7:3\)`.

To find the odds in favor of an event, you can use the formula:

`\[ \text{Odds in favor} = \frac{\text{Probability of the event}}{\text{Probability of not the event}} \]`

In this case, the probability of the Eagles winning is
`\(0.70\)`, and the probability of them not winning is
`\(1 - 0.70 = 0.30\)`.

`\[ \text{Odds in favor} = (0.70)/(0.30) \]`

Now, simplify the fraction:

`\[ \text{Odds in favor} = (7)/(3) \]`

So, the odds in favor of the Eagles winning are
`\(7:3\)`.
