Using conversions between odds and probabilities, we have that:
1. A) 4:21
2. 0.952 probability that a bag of flour passes inspection.
3. C) 1:39
4. 41:59.
5. 14:11
- A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
- An odd is given by a:b, in which <u>a is the number of successes and b is the number of failures</u>.
Item 1:
- Probability of 0.16, thus, for 100 trials, <u>16 successes and 84 failures</u>, and the odd is:
16:84, which, simplifying by 4, is 4:21.
Item 2:
- Odd of 20:1 means that 20 + 1 = <u>21 trials, there are 20 successes</u>, thus, the probability is:
0.952 probability that a bag of flour passes inspection.
Item 3:
- Probability of 0.025, thus, for 100 trials, <u>2.5 successes and 97.5 failures</u>, and the odd is:
2.5:97.5, which, simplifying by 2.5, is 1:39.
Item 4:
- 59% probability that he will take the longest trail, thus 100 - 59 = 41% probability of him <u>not tanking the longest trail</u>, thus, the odds against him taking the longest trail is 41:59.
Item 5:
- Probability of 0.56, thus, for 100 trials, <u>56 successes and 44 failures</u>, and the odd is:
56:44, which, simplifying by 4, is 14:11.
