Question

The odds in favor of (E) are 57:43find the probability of (E) :

Answer 1

If the odds in favor of (E) are 57:43, that means in a total of 100 cases (100 = 57 + 43), 57 cases will be event (E).

So the probability of (E) is:

`p(E)=(57)/(57+43)=(57)/(100)=0.57=57\text{\%}`

The probability of (E) is 57%
