Question

Question 5: 11 pteA juice company gives prizes to anyone finding specially marked caps on its juice bottles. You and your friendsbuy 20 bottles of juice. You find that 4 of the bottles have winning caps. What are the odds in favor of winning aprize in the contest?O 5:1O 4:5O 4:1O 1:4

Answer 1

The odds of winning will be (winning caps) : (number of non-winning bottles), then

`4\colon16`

We must simplify it, if we divide both by 4 we get

`(4)/(4)\colon(16)/(4)`

Then

`1\colon4`

That's the odds in favor of winning the prize in the contest
