Question

The probability that Cody will be first in the 50m backstroke Is 25%. What are the odds In favour of him being first?

Answer 1

To find the odds in favor of Cody being first, we need to divide the probability of him winning (25%) by the probability of him not winning (75%).

Odds in favor of Cody winning = 25% / (100% - 25%) = 25% / 75%

Simplifying, we get:

Odds in favor of Cody winning = 1/3

Therefore, the odds in favor of Cody being first in the 50m backstroke are 1 to 2 (or 1:2).
