Using the probability and odds concepts, it is found that the odds against it containing a number greater than or equal to 7 is
.
- A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
- An odd is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of non-desired outcomes</u>.
In the rack, there are 15 balls, numbered from 1 to 15. Of those, <u>6 are less than 7</u>(against it containing a number greater than or equal to 7 is equivalent to it containing a number less than 7), thus:
- There are 6 desired outcomes.
- There are 9 non-desired outcomes.
The odd is:

Answer:
£42
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Richard's amount to Stephen's amount is ...
R : S = 3 : 1
The ratio of Natasha's amount to Richard's amount is ...
N : R = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3
Then the ratio of all three amounts is ...
N : R : S = 6 : 3 : 1
The proportion of the total that Natasha gets is ...
6/(6+3+1) = 6/10
so she gets ...
(6/10)×£70 = £42
Natasha gets £42.
