Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\because \text{Probability of an event}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Here, the probability of A,

$P(A)=\frac{4}{9}$

By comparing,

Favourable outcomes of A = 4,

Total outcomes = 9,

So, unfavourable outcomes = total outcomes - favourable outcomes

= 9 - 4 = 5

Now,

$\text{Odd in favour}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Unfavorable outcomes}}$

Therefore, the odd in favour of A = $\frac{4}{5}$
