The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357
<h3>
How to find the probability?</h3>
We know that the odds against the particular candidate are 9 to 5.
The the odds for the candidate are 5 to 9, this means that in 5 cases the candidate will win, and in 9 cases the candidate will lose.
Then the candidate wins in 5 out of 14 cases, then the probability that the particular candidate wins the elections is given by the quotient:
P = 5/14 = 0.357
The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357
