In the question, we are given that the odds against winning a prize is given as


13\colon1

Step-by-step explanation

To find the the probability of winning a prize we will swap the position of the values in the ratio from loss : win to win: loss. This will give;


1\colon13

Therefore we wil have:


(1)/(13)=0.077

Answer:


0.077
