Question

Scott entered a raffle to win a movie ticket. The probability that he wins a movie ticket is 6/13. Find the odds in favor of him winning a movie ticket.

Answer 1

Given:

Probability: 6/13

When you have the probability (P); to find the odds you use the next formula:

`Odds=(P)/(1-P)`
`\begin{gathered} Odds=((6)/(13))/(1-(6)/(13)) \\ \\ Odds=((6)/(13))/((13-6)/(13)) \\ \\ Odds=((6)/(13))/((7)/(13)) \\ \\ Odds=(6)/(7) \end{gathered}`Odds in favor are 6/7 or 6:7 (6 are the favorable outcomes and 7 the unfavorable outcomes)
