Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

`\begin{gathered} the\text{ odds in favor of getting an extra turn=} \\ \\ =\frac{probability\text{ of chances to get an extra turn in 17 attempts}}{probability\text{ of chance to not get an extra turn in 17 attempts}} \\ \\ =(6)/(17-6)\text{ =}(6)/(11) \end{gathered}`

(b) Odds against is given by number of failures/number of successes

`\begin{gathered} \frac{no\text{ of failures }}{no\text{ of success}}=(9)/(10) \\ \\ The\text{ total number of trials in failures+number of successes= 9+10=19} \\ \\ So\text{ getting a lamon-flavored piece is a success.} \\ \\ p(getting\text{ a lamon flavoured piece\rparen=}(10)/(19) \end{gathered}`

Required answer:

`(a)(6)/(11)\text{ \lparen b\rparen}(10)/(19)`
