An experiment has three possible mutually exclusive outcomes, A, B, or C. The odds of A occurring are 3 to 10 and the
1 answer:
Using the relation between odds and probability, it is found that:
1. P(C) = 17/39.
2. The odds of C occurring are 17 to 22.
<h3>What is a probability and what is an odd?</h3>- A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
- An odd is the number of <u>desired outcomes divided by the number of non-desired outcomes</u>.
Considering the odds, the probabilities for A and B are given as follows:
- P(A) = 3/(3 + 10) = 3/13.
- P(B) = 1/(1 + 2) = 1/3.
The sum of all probabilities is of 1, hence the probability of C is found as follows:
39P(C) = 17
P(C) = 17/39.
17 desired outcomes and 39 - 17 = 22 non-desired, hence:
The odds of C occurring are 17 to 22.

Given:
Hayden minutes to complete each level of his video game.
He plays for minutes.
To find:
The number of levels he will complete.
Solution:
We have,
Required time for each level =
Total time =
The number of level is
On further simplification, we get
Number of levels must be a whole number. So, approx to value to the preceding whole number.
Therefore, Hayden will complete 6 levels if he plays for minutes.
