Question

A statistician predicts that the probability of a race car driver winning their next race is 9/10. What are the odds against them winning?

Answer 1

90%

Explanation:

We know that

9/10

is the same as

9÷10

Then using

Long Division for 9 divided by 10

gives us

0.9

Converting our number to a percentage:

0.9×100

=90%
