The odds in favor of winning a prize in the contest of the juice company which gives prizes to anyone finding specially marked caps is 3.2.

<h3>What is odds against?</h3>

In probability, the term odds against is the ratio of probability of non occurring a favorable event to the probability of occurring a favorable event. It can be given as,

$\text{odd against}=\dfrac{P(\overline A)}{P(A)}$

Here, $P(\overline A)$ is the probability of not occurring a favorable event, and P(A) is the probability of occurring a favorable event.

A juice company gives the prizes to anyone finding specially marked caps on its juice bottles. The 4 bottles have winning cap in 20 bottles. Thus, the probability of winning is,

$P(A)=\dfrac{4}{20}\\P(A)=\dfrac{1}{5}$

The probability of not winning is,

$P(\overline A)=1-\dfrac{1}{5}\\P=\dfrac{4}{5}$

Thus, the odd against the winning is,

$\text{odd against}=\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{5}}{\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\text{odd against}=\dfrac{16}{5}\\\text{odd against}=3.2$

Thus, the odds in favor of winning a prize in the contest of the juice company which gives prizes to anyone finding specially marked caps is 3.2.

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (−1, −3) and has a slope of 4?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

(y-(-3))=4(x-(-1))

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for point slope form is:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

just plug in numbers from the point (-1, -3) for x1 and y1. The slope 4, would plug into m.
