If the odds favour of an event be 3/5, find the probability of the occurrence of the event. |
Answer» Let the given event be E and let P(E) = x. Then, odd in favour of `E = (P(E))/(1 - P(E))` `hArr (P(E))/(1 - P(E)) = 3/5 hArr (x)/((1 - x)) = 3/5` `hArr 5x = 3 - 3x hArr 8x = 3 hArr x = 3/8`. `therefore` required probability `= 3/8.` |
