Question

If the odd against the occurence of an event be 4:7 find the proabilty of the occurence of the event.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{7}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Odds:Occurence = 4:7$

Required

Determine the probability of the occurrence

First, we need to get the total of the ratio

$Total = 4 + 7$

$Total = 11$

Next, is to calculate the required probability as follows;

$Probability = \frac{Occurrence}{Total}$

$Probability = \frac{7}{11}$

Hence, the required probability is

$Probability = \frac{7}{11}$
