Question

Given the probability of event E, p(E) = 7/19, find the odds of event E.

Answer 1

7/12 or 7 is to 12

EXPLANATION :

From the problem, the probability of an event is 7/19

Note that the probability of the event that will occur and the probability of the event that will not occur have a sum of 1.

Calculate the probability of the event that will not occur.

That will be :

`1-(7)/(19)=(12)/(19)`

The odds of an event is defined as the quotient between the event that will occur and the event that will not occur.

That will be :

`\begin{gathered} (7)/(19)/(12)/(19)=(7)/(19)*(19)/(12) \\ =(7)/(12) \end{gathered}`

The answer is 7/12 or 7 is to 12
