Answer:

1 in 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = success / (success + failure)

Odds = success / failure

The probability is 8%, which means in a group of 100 people, 8 will catch the flu and 92 will not.  So the odds are 8/92, which reduces to 1/11.5, or approximately 1/12.

The graph of a proportional relationship contains the point (8, 4).
Softa [21]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}

-------------------------------\\\\
(\stackrel{x}{8}~~,~~\stackrel{y}{4})\implies 
\begin{cases}
x=8\\
y=4
\end{cases}\implies 4=k8\implies \cfrac{4}{8}=k\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=k
\\\\\\
\boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{2}x}
